I just love white chocolate flavored candy… so when I was deciding which Christmas candies to make this year, I was drawn to making my own peppermint bark. I used a base recipe for the white candy base from one of my new favorite cookbooks– Crock Pot’s I Can Make That in My Slow Cooker.

Crock Pot Peppermint Bark Notes

  • We love melting chocolate and almond bark in our slow cookers. It makes for easy candy making. However, you need to check on it every 15 minutes or so to make sure you do not burn it. Your candy is ready to work with once you can stir it completely smooth. This will take a different amount of time depending on your slow cooker. We used this 6 quart slow cooker.
  • This candy has a mild peppermint flavor.  If you would like a stronger peppermint flavor, you can increase the peppermint extract and should crunch your candy canes into larger pieces. We crushed ours very fine with our BlendTec blender.

Ingredients

  • 48 oz white almond bark (2 - 24 oz packages) broken into pieces
  • 11 oz bag white chocolate chips
  • 4 oz bar white chocolate broken into pieces
  • 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
  • 8 regular candy canes divided and crushed
  • 12 pieces soft candy cane puffs roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Combine almond bark, chips and bar in a 6 quart slow cooker (we used this one).
  • Cook on high for 30 min to 90 min until smooth making sure to stir occasionally to keep it from burning.
  • Turn off heat and stir in extract.
  • Line a large cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with wax paper.
  • Crush 5 candy canes into pieces of desired size. We crushed ours into fine pieces using our BlendTec blender but you could even crush in a baggie by pounding with a rolling pin.
  • Stir pieces into chocolate and pour it onto your lined pan.
  • Evenly spread mixture and place in your refrigerator while you chop the candy cane puffs. (Note: you want the chocolate to cool a slight bit before placing the puffs in it so they don't melt.)
  • Remove the pan from the refrigerator and evenly push puff pieces into chocolate.
  • Place pan in freezer for 2 hours.
  • Remove from freezer and break into bite size pieces.
  • Store in an air tight container.

      Hi Kathy-
      Melting discs should work just fine. Just remember to check and stir frequently so you don’t burn.- Enjoy!

      I don’t see why not 🙂 I don’t know if they make “dark” almond bark but they do make chocolate. So you could use dark chips and a dark bar with the chocolate almond bark and it should do fine. Enjoy!

    What a great idea!! Definitely will be making this. Could you tell me, what is the difference between candy cane and candy cane puffs? Are the puffs put on the bark whole?? But it says chop them?? I’m lame – and confused!! Please help me. (I have candy cane but will need to order the puffs and just wonder the need for both??)

      Hi Donna-
      The candy cane puffs are more like a large after dinner mint. They melt in your mouth creamy and smooth instead of retaining a hard candy texture like a candy cane. We really love the puffs, but you could just use candy canes instead if you want to. I chopped the puffs into 2-3 pieces each and then when I pushed them into the chocolate, I just made sure they were pretty side up so they look “whole” but they are just pieces ;). Hope that helps! Enjoy!!
