#9 White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn,More info:simplyscratch

For a time, this White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn could only be bought in a bag, that is until I made it at home. This sweet, peppermint-y treat is perfection!

I’m starting to get in the Christmas spirit. Can ya feel it? This weekend I have plans to deck the halls, oh and while I’m doing that I’ll be sure to have Michael Buble’s holiday album playing on repeat.

Once I get in full cheer mode, look out! I pretty much drive Pat crazy with the constant Christmas music, like 24-7, I can’t help myself! And don’t even get me started on Christmas MOVIES. I will always love the classics like Frosty, Rudolph and The Grinch (the cartoon version of course). It’s actually one of the reasons I had kids, that and to go trick-or-treating on Halloween. BUT when I finally sit down with my mountain of gifts to wrap I also watch some of my favorite Christmas movies starting with It’s a Wonderful Life and ending with Love Actually and The Holiday.

I’m getting ready to head to holiday festivities at my Dad’s place, complete with my super squeezable twin nephews (Gah!), but I wanted to share a simple treat that has been making life easy, festive, and tasty all week.

So, along with Minimalist Baker’s 5-Ingredient Peppermint Patties, I’ve been whipping up boatloads of this simple, gluten-free Dark Chocolate Peppermint Pretzel Bark. It’s all the best things about a treat in a bite—Salty, Sweet, Chocolate, Peppermint, Easy. Did I mention it’s easy?
