i remember growing up with neighbors sending a little sweet treat our way for the xmas holidays. i always thought it was a sweet gesture and of course couldn't wait to do the same. tony and i have yet to officially meet a couple of neighbors on our block and figured this would be the perfect opportunity to do so. i love peppermint bark and have always wanted to make some, so i did. tony found an amazing recipe from a coworker called brickle that he wanted to "kick up a notch", so he did. mom castro told tony about a haystack recipe that he wanted to try, so he did that too. and voila!
