Christmas goodies don't get much easier than melting chocolate, spreading it out, and adding your favorite toppings. You really can't beat classic peppermint bark during the holiday season. It's simple to make, requires just a few ingredients, and is highly addictive--don't say we didn't warn you! For homemade holiday gifts, wrap the candy up in bags and tie with festive ribbon.

Make even larger quantities for gifting this easy microwave treat by skipping the jelly-roll pan and covering your counter with parchment. It'll take longer to harden at room temperature, but you can make large batches without pans or the refrigerator.
