#1, Peppermint Crunch White Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers
These Peppermint Crunch White Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers are the ultimate Christmas gift for friends and family! So yummy!!
3 ingredients, super easy!!! Graham crackers
, white chocolate and crushed peppermint sprinkles
. These are really pretty and they taste out of this world!
All you do is dip each graham cracker into melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed peppermint
, let them sit until set and magic *Presto*. You have a classy, classy treat!
Peppermint not your thing? Melt any flavor of chocolate and sprinkle with chopped nuts, toffee, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, chocolate and/0r peanut butter drizzles, cookie crumbles, etc...seriously. pretty much anything goes. You can go as plain or as creative as you want with each season.
#2, is this Smooth Vanilla Bean Fudge
This dreamy Vanilla Bean Fudge is so smooth and delicious! Add some add-ins like cherries, nuts or leave as is! If you don't have vanilla bean paste, you can just use vanilla extract. I love using the vanilla bean paste and vanilla though, it just gives it an extra layer of vanilla essence that is really heavenly, in my book.
I used candied cherries
to give it a pop of color. They are sweet, like what is used in a fruit cake, but doesn't have as much flavor as maraschino cherries
do. If you opt to use maraschino cherries, make sure you drain and dry them well with paper towel before chopping, but you could use dried cherries
, as another option if you want a tart element.
Chopped California walnuts
were used, but you can use almonds, pecans, pistachios or even black walnuts or none at all. Just go all out Vanilla. It's amazing and a huge crowd pleaser!
You can also substitute white chocolate
for milk, dark or peanut butter chocolate chips. Get creative!
#3, Sweet and Salty Vanilla Butterscotch Swirl Bark
This Sweet and Salty Vanilla Butterscotch Swirl Bark is a bark you won't forget after an indulgence or 3. White Chocolate
is melted with some good quality vanilla extract
, then butterscotch chocolate chips are melted and the chocolates are swirled together.
Chopped pretzels
, toffee
and assorted salted roasted nuts
are sprinkled on top of the bark. It's optional, if you want to add some melted chocolate drizzle on top or leave it like it is. It's beautiful either way.
You can change it up by adding some dried cherries or cranberries
for a little color and tartness for another level of yumminess! You can add anything salty you want on top, any kind of pretzels, any kind of nuts.
Making bark is one of the easiest candies you can make and who doesn't love chocolate? And speaking of chocolate, you can make it your favorite by choosing peanut butter, milk chocolate, or mint chocolate chips as substitutions for different flavor combos! Fun, right?? Yes!!
