Thanksgiving is officially over. That means that all of the pumpkin flavored foods that are so popular in the fall are starting to be replaced with other things.
But that also means that another one of my favorite flavors gets to come back. The flavor that is always associated with winter and Christmas. Yep, you guessed it: peppermint. I love it in everything, whether it's gum, or candy, or DARK CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT BARK.
Yes, that is what I came up with when I was deciding what to make this morning, because it combines two of my favorite things in life, dark chocolate and peppermint. Yum. There is nothing else to say. So here is the recipe:
