This holiday treat is a classic: PEPPERMINT HOLIDAY BARK. I traditionally bring this as a dessert or gift it to friends + family since it’s super thoughtful, yummy + easy to make. If you don’t know this about me by now, I’m a HUGE fan of dark chocolate. You can also use whatever toppings you love or readily have available in your pantry. This recipe is the perfect fit for the “Little Adapts” lifestyle – easy + convenient!

- Pour chocolate mixture in the middle of the parchment paper in a rectangular shape.
