Our Disneyland vacation is sadly over, but I timed it strategically because it's not all sad.... CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

When you're reading this, we should be back in Australia and by 12pm, I can almost guarantee that you will find me pulling boxes of Christmas decorations out of the roof because the Christmas celebrations start now.

Christmas is my favourite time of year. I love the decorating, I love the food, I love getting to spend extra time with family friends, I love the traditions, I love the music, I love the excitement - I love pretty much every single thing about Christmas.

But especially the treats.

This Peppermint Crunch Rocky Road Recipe is one I came up with last Christmas, but one that quickly became a family favourite. It's so easy to make, but the kind of recipe everyone will ask for because it's seriously delicious. 

Even better? It makes the perfect homemade Christmas gift to share with friends, whether they're coming to your house or you're visiting theirs. Simply grab a jar and a pretty Christmas ribbon, fill it with your rocky road, tie it with a bow and you're ready to gift.

Chocolate bark was actually the first foodie gift I ever made for a friend - and something I've been making every Christmas for at least 15 years. 

Why? When I was about 8 or 9 my teacher in primary school taught us all how to make Rocky Road (this Super Simple Kid Friendly Rocky Road Recipe actually!) and I fell in love with making homemade chocolate treats. 

When our friends at The Reject Shop asked me if I could come up with a delicious recipe for their customers - I knew I had to put together something a little more than that. To help you really wow your loved ones this Christmas, I put together a collection of delicious chocolate treats that are the perfect Homemade Christmas Gift! 

All 12 of these Homemade Chocolate Bark Recipes are super easy - all you have to do is melt, pour and sprinkle. They're perfect for making with kids and are what we like to call deceptively simple... that is, they make you look like a bit of a domestic goddess even though it takes all of five minutes to make them.

They're the perfect treat for Christmas and I'm sure you'll fall in love with at least one of these delicious combinations... 

So let's get onto the recipes, shall we?! 

Recipe: Vegan Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Bark (Gluten Free & Sugar Free!)

Valentines Day is fast approaching and whilst Jesse and I don't really celebrate the holiday, we do celebrate chocolate - so it's a good excuse to put together some delicious chocolate recipes to enjoy year-round. 

This Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Bark was an experiment gone oh so right. You see, I had a bunch of gluten free pretzels laying about that needed to be eaten, however, I didn't want to just eat them on their own or use them as a dipping vessel. 

At the same time I really felt like making something with chocolate and peanut butter - only to realise that chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels really were a match made in heaven. 

So I got to thinking. At first I thought about making moulded chocolates, however, to be honest that felt like a little too much effort for this lazy girl - so I settled on chocolate bark. 

You see, chocolate bark is one of those deceptively simple creations. It looks really impressive - but really all you did was pour a mixture onto a tray, stick it in the fridge and call it a day. 

It takes so little effort but tastes so incredibly amazing - and I decided to lift the amazingness to a whole new level. 

Instead of melting regular ol' chocolate and mixing things in - I decided to make my own chocolate bark from scratch. A gluten free, vegan, sugar free and dairy free chocolate bark that still only required melting and mixing. 

And oh what a success that experiment was. So successful, in fact, that there's now a designated chocolate bark place in our freezer where a container must sit at all times filled with chocolate bark deliciousness. 

That container gets opened at least a couple of times each day when we're in need of a healthy chocolate fix. 

But enough yapping! Let me share the recipe with you! >>
