Snowflake Peppermint Bark
Easy homemade snowflake peppermint bark, perfect for holiday gifts!
There are exactly twenty four days left until Christmas! Are you freaking out yet? Since it’s December first I decided to start the month with a fun memory and giveaway. Let’s jump right into the spirit of things shall we?
If you’ve been stopping by for at least a year, you might remember these.
I had to redo them. Well, I didn’t have to but I really wanted to! They’re way too cute and fun to pass up making. I think they’ll become a yearly tradition. The girls were dying to grab them and take a bite.
Since making them last year I’ve had many comments asking about the mold – where did I find it? It’s a regional store but unfortunately they only carried that mold last year! I checked this year. I was sad. I wanted to buy some to give to some lucky readers – you! Apparently the stars were aligned because on another trip back I happened upon one lonely blue snowflake mold sitting with the loads of green trees and red gingerbread men. One! I snatched it up so fast. There was no letting that sucker go.

These are so perfect looking! Love it! My *new* favorite Christmas tradition is Christmas morning w/ my family of three :)
I do not have a holiday tradition because this is my first holiday on my own but I did buy a tree and have been decorating it with lots of food ornaments. I think that my tradition if I had any was to bake for my family.
my favorite tradition is helping my parents decorate their home.
As of right now, my husband and I don’t have any traditions. But this year we will be getting matching pajamas. :)
We are still figuring out some traditions—but one I’ve carried over from growing up is baking a sour cream coffee cake to have for breakfast on Christmas morning :-)
my favorite tradition with my mom and now my own kids is baking and decorating Christmas cookies:>)
My favorite holiday tradition is absolutely putting the tinsel on the Christmas tree with my whole family. While most of the decorations go up before I get to my family home, we always wait until Christmas eve to put up the tinsel, so I don’t miss it!!
Those are so freakin’ adorable! Perfect to gift!
My favorite tradition is our feast of hors d’oeuvres on Christmas Eve. :)
Gorgeous peppermint snowflakes! Reminds me of those Christmas-time ghirardelli chocolate peppermint squares that feature both white and dark chocolate. Yum!
One of my favorite holiday traditions would have to be the advent calendar. I just love opening up a door of the calendar each morning and counting down the days with a chocolate (even though I’m a month away from being 30!).
My fave tradition is Christmas Eve late date night with hubbby. He proposed to me on Christmas Eve so we always have a little celebration- even if it is just a little bubbly after the kids go to bed!

My favorite tradition is making cookies for Christmas. We always make about a dozen different kinds. It’s sort of chaos, but I love it!
My favorite holiday tradition has to be putting up the Christmas tree and hanging the ornaments. It’s not Christmas until the tree is up!

These are adorable! One of my favorite traditions is baking up loaves of date nut bread. I just did yesterday and it really starts the season off right!
My favorite tradition is putting up the tree and decorating the entire house and then leaving it all up through January because I like living in Fairy Land. I have to say this, I can’t believe you’re not hoarding that mold for your girls. I think it’ll be a much fought over item.
These are amazing – so perfect!
We have so many traditions, I don’t know which to pick! I love putting together a Ginger Bread House on Christmas Eve

Saw these ones like these on Pinterest and wanted to make them so badly. I looked on Amazon to buy molds like these, but no luck. I did find these exact snowflake molds on ebay. They varied in price, but purchased 2 for $4.99 each from one seller. I thought it was worth every penny.
