Peppermint Bark
This really is so simple and takes very little time to put together. It's great for thank you presents for teachers and nursery staff but it is also the perfect sweet treat to have on hand to give to family and friends over the festive season. It is also a good way to get your children involved in the kitchen, mine love to hammer away at the candy canes!
