I’m not ashamed to admit that we still have one of our
Christmas trees up. Yes, it might have just been Burns Night but it seems ridiculous that we’re supposed to be satisfied looking forward to and celebrating what is
essentially just one week of festivities. We make Christmas last as long as humanly
possible in our house because who wouldn’t want to feel snug and secure for a few more weeks?
Our freezer is still stocked with Christmas-related foodstuffs; yesterday we
made a curry with a turkey leg, today a broth out of the bones. This recipe is
a quickie for anyone who has candy canes left over. I’d actually never
heard of peppermint bark until someone gave Amy a bar of it as a gift two years
ago; it was from America so the chocolate element was pretty naff but given my family’s penchant for
chocolate mints it only seemed right to pick up a bottle of peppermint essence
whilst out Christmas shopping in anticipation of making my own.
