MINT CHOCOLATE BARK RECIPES
Have you ever made something and it tastes so good you actually surprise yourself? My husband was outside working in the yard and I brought him a bite of this Chocolate Mint Bark to try and he said, “Wait. You made this?”
“Um, yeah. Don’t be so shocked.”
It might taste familiar. You know those little girls that seek you out to buy their cookies? I hate to say it, but these might put them out of a job.
You should use dark melting wafers or almond bark for this. My grocery store sells it. Add a little peppermint extract. Too little and you miss the taste. Too much and it tastes like toothpaste. After much testing I found the perfect amount is one teaspoon for the amount of chocolate.
Spread a thin layer on the bottom and top it with the chocolate graham crackers and then pour the remaining chocolate on top. You can have a little fun here. Add some festive sprinkles or drizzle some green candy melts on top.
I found the easiest way to drizzle was to put it in a resealable bag, snip off the corner, and drizzle away.
After it’s set in the freezer, break it into chunks and enjoy!
We really couldn’t stop eating this! And how cute is it for St. Patrick’s Day?!

I used Andee’s mint chips and am now considered a rock star.
Genius!!
My store didn’t have graham crackers so I had to use teddy grahams. I also couldn’t find that kind of chocolate so I just used my favorite dark chocolate bars. I used the same amount of peppermint. I melted the chocolate then just dumped the box of teddy grahams inside the same bowl, poured them on to parchment paper and spread them out as best as I could. I broke them up into smaller sections after they set. They were AWESOME! Thanks for this!
You’re welcome! And glad to know I can use teddy grahams.
Such a fun St patricks Day treat!
