What You Need
I suggest making this recipe as easy as possible by buying chocolate chocolate chunk cookies rather than making them yourself. I buy Pepperidge Farm cookies. They’re delicious and so easy to dip.
- Chocolate chunk cookies
- White chocolate melting wafers
- Candy canes (or cumbled candy cane bits)
Helpful Tips
- Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality chocolate and white chocolate for the best flavor. This will enhance the overall taste of your cookies and make them extra special.
- Customize Your Cookies: Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark or mint-flavored, to add a unique twist to your cookies.
- Perfect for Gifting: Package your Peppermint Bark Cookies in decorative tins or boxes for a thoughtful holiday gift. Include a festive note to add a personal touch!

Peppermint Bark Cookies
Ingredients
- 12 Chocolate chocolate chip cookies any brand you like
- 1 bag white chocolate melting wafers
- 5 candy canes crushed
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate wafers in a microwave safe bowl at 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.
- Dip the cookies halfway in the chocolate and place them on a wire rack.
- Before the chocolate has cooled, sprinkle the white chocolate with candy cane bits.
Notes
- I really recommend getting Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers if you can. I tried four different brands of white chocolate and was disappointed with all of them except the Ghirardelli. Some weren’t white, some didn’t taste good, and some didn’t melt well.
- Be careful when microwaving the chocolate because it does burn fairly quickly. Microwave for just 20 seconds at a time and stop when most of the chips are melted. Stirring rapidly will help the rest melt.
- The white chocolate will harden pretty quickly, so be sure to sprinkle on the peppermint crunch quickly after dipping.
