It’s almost March, and that means everything is turning GREEN! I had a little fun in the kitchen this week and made some peppermint chocolate bark – colored green, of course! I was thrilled with how easy this was to make, and YOU will be thrilled with how yummy it is!
This week, we’re taking a break from our traditional dinner recipes and posting anything. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that I automatically went for a St. Patrick’s Day dessert.
- 12 ounce package white chocolate chips or melting chocolates
- 3-4 chocolate graham crackers, finely crushed
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- green food coloring
- ¼ cup ground nuts
- ? cup Andes Creme de Menthe baking chips (or regular-sized Andes, broken into small pieces)
- Crush chocolate graham crackers (I like to throw the crackers into my small Ninja food processor, but you can put them in a ziploc bag and let the kids crush them by hand).
- Spread cracker crumbs on a wax paper-covered cookie sheet.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a small pan over medium heat. Stir constantly until melted.
- Remove melted chocolate from heat and add peppermint extract and food coloring (just a few drops, until you’ve got the desired color).
- Pour melted chocolate gently over cracker crumbs. Spread with a flat spatula to get to the desired thickness. Sprinkle hot bark with nuts and Andes chips.
- Cool and break into bite-sized pieces. Store in a cool location.
Don’t want nuts? I only put nuts on half of my leprechaun bark – the kids like it better that way.
PS – want another delicious recipe with Andes chips? These mint chocolate chip cookies are to-die-for!

My kids love Andes mints! I remember my grandma having them for a special after-dinner treat when I was a girl. I think I’ll do the half nut version too. What is it about kids and nuts? :)
