Christmas is in the air! It’s definitely my favorite time of year!! I love doing our daily activity advent with my kiddos, singing Christmas carols, retelling the story of Jesus’ birth, spending time with family & friends, & making yummy holiday treats 🙂 Peppermint bark is one of my favorite holiday treats, so I thought I’d whip up a THM version of it. It’s super easy & so yummy!! I wanted to create a peppermint bark with a crunch so it had more substance. I created the crunch with Wasa crackers & this peppermint bark crunch recipe definitely did the trick. You can leave out the Wasas to make this recipe even easier, it’s still really good! My kiddos who love sugar also love it! For the most part, I don’t let them have my sugar -free treats unless they haven’t had sugar for the day. This dessert is definitely something they’re willing to skip sugar for, so that’s a win in my book! Not only is it tasty, but it’s also super easy to make so if you’re short on time (which most of are during the holidays) you’ll love the simplicity of this treat.
