Peppermint Oreo Bark

I really "get" why so many people are making "bark" this time of year!
After making Snowmen Oreo Pops, I had some left over Vanilla Candiquik with some Oreo crumbs in it, so it couldn't be reused. I decided to try making some candy bark and spread it out on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet. My 3 year old spread out a layer of broken up Oreos on top of the first layer of candy. I followed that up with a layer of Wilton Candy Cane Colorburst melts that I had also added additional peppermint candy flavoring to. This is a perfect way to use up some of that leftover candy coating and something easy that younger kids can help to make!
The results were delicious and I now get why so many people are making it!

Mint & Dark Chocolate Snowflake Candy

This candy is a tasty treat and is quick and easy to throw together for a last minute gift or party!
Here is all that you need:
1 package each Wilton  Dark Cocoa Mint Candy Melts
1 package Wilton Candy Cane Colorburst Candy Melts
Snowflake Mold by Martha Stewart Crafts
Shopping the Michael's Thanksgiving Sale, this all cost me only $4.20 and will make about 24 large pieces of candy! (Not including candy dish that was hiding in the attic!) Best of all, this takes only about a half hour to make, making 8 pieces at a time. If you need to make tons of these, you will probably want more than one snowflake mold!
Here is how you make them:
(Making 8 at a time)
1. Melt about 1 cup of Wilton Candy Cane Colorburst Candy Melts in the microwave for about 1 minute in microwave safe bowl.
2. Spoon about a tablespoon into the mold filling cavity about 1/3 full, tapping down after filling ever 2 or 3 cavities.
3. After all cavities in the mold have the first layer of candy place in the refrigerator for 2 or 3 minutes.
4. Repeat with Dark Cocoa Mint Candy Melts.
5. Let molded candy set up in the refrigerator an additional 5 minutes or until easily unmolds. If they dont pop right out, they aren't quite ready.
These candies could be wrapped individually with a pretty bow for a class party or stocking stuffer.
 Placed on a nice candy tray and wrapped in cellophane and a bow, this would make a cute gift for a teacher, a hostess gift, or a last minute item to bring to a last minute Christmas party!
