Snowflake Peppermint Bark
ShareEasy 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.

Where did you get the snowflake mold from?? The ones that I found come from China and would love to avoid having to pay that shipping. Thanks.

I purchased mine two years ago at a regional store called The Christmas Tree Shop, but I have seen similar molds on both amazon and ebay.
Thank you so much! I have a Christmas Tree Shop here in town. I will definitely check them out.
Other than the website from China, I cannot find the mold. Must have this!! Help!
I love our tradition of hiding the tiny pickle ornament on the tree and whoever finds it gets a special gift.
