Making Pepermint Bark in a Thermos
Here’s how you can make Peppermint Bark. It’s an easy recipe that doesn’t require a lot of ingredients. All you need is a thermos and peppermint oil. First, place the empty thermos into a saucepan with 2 inches of water. Heat the water to just below boiling, and add 2 cups of sugar and ½ cup of water. Stir until all the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has melted and the syrup has thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove the thermos from the heat, and add 2 tablespoons of peppermint oil. The heat from the simmering syrup will quickly cool the syrup to room temperature. Pour the syrup into the thermos, and then add the peelings and mint leaves. The peelings will cause the syrup to thicken, so leave the mint leaves in the syrup for at least one hour. Then, transfer the thermos into the refrigerator to chill the syrup. When it’s cool, pour the syrup into a candy mold and allow it to harden for one hour. Then, cut the bark into bars, and remove from the mold. Once the bark has hardened, you’ll have a delicious peppermint candy bar.
What is Peppermint Bark?
With a shelf life of about a year, peppermint bark is a treat enjoyed at Christmastime. A combination of sugar, mint leaves, and cocoa is ground, mixed with water and rolled into sticks. It can be flavored with mint extract or flavoring, and it can be made in a variety of colors. The most common type of peppermint candy is called peppermint hard candy, or peppermint rope. This is made by adding sugar syrup to a solution of confectioners sugar and corn syrup. The syrup is allowed to cool, and the mixture is poured into pans to set. When it has set, it is cut into pieces and then dipped into colored or flavored sugar to make the candy.
The Science Behind Peppermint Bark
This recipe has been used in the UK since the 18th century. It is a classic Christmas treat that was originally used as a cough syrup. It was also used to treat upset stomachs and even hangovers. Today, peppermint is used to alleviate an upset stomach. But this delicious drink is also known to help with cold and flu symptoms. The peppermint in this recipe acts as an expectorant, and helps with breathing. This ingredient also has an anaesthetic effect that can help with pain relief. This isn’t the only use for peppermint. It is also used in toothpastes. And if you have ever brewed a cup of tea, then you’ve used peppermint as a flavoring.

Peppermint Bark with Chocolate and Candies
Before the advent of refrigeration, it was common to preserve foods with sugar and alcohol. But sugar and alcohol quickly turn into a sugary and alcoholic mess when kept for long periods of time. This is why people preserved fruits and vegetables with spices and herbs. Peppermint bark is one of the most well known preserves of this kind. It is a popular treat that uses dry or candied peppermint, along with sugar, honey, and often anise or fennel. It is also often flavored with chocolate and other candies, such as candy canes and caramels. It can be difficult to get a nice, even coat of sugar, however, so it is often made in small batches. This makes it easier to use a spatula or spoon to spread the sugar evenly. And, when making this type of preserve, it is important to leave the mixture exposed to the air so that the sugar can oxidize and turn a nice, dark brown.
