Chocolate Cookie Bark

 I made this Chocolate Cookie Bark last year for holiday gifts.  It was tasty and a big hit with everyone.  I even had a couple of people ask me for the recipe.  What I love about most bark recipes is that you get a lot of bang for your buck.  It is easy to make and tastes great.

When I made this I experimented a little.  I just added a touch….and I mean a minute amount, of peppermint extract.  You don’t want to add too much or it will overpower the bark.  I also added some red sprinkles for some festive color before I placed it in the refrigerator.
