Peppermint Bark pancakes

I have a box of peppermint bark during holiday season from one of our friend,I don't know what to do with it. Since I was off yesterday. I try to use up this peppermint bark to make pancakes, It turn out really good :)

Peppermint Bark Pancakes

Ingredients:
I use store bought pancake mix just add water and follow direction on the package and about 1/2 cup of chopped peppermint bark + pancakes syrup and whipped cream ( optional )

Chopped peppermint bark add some about 3 tablespoon to pancake batter and mixed

sprinkles the rest of chopped peppermint bark in to pancake before you flip them

You can serve without pancakes syrup if you like,for reduce sugar,a sweetness from bark is sweet enough to start morning activity :)

I think it's a great use for the peppermint bark--I have a peppermint/white chocolate bar sitting in my pantry, and this is giving me ideas.

Very nice and creative. Thumbs up for someone like you who simply came up with your own recipe because I tend to that most of the time now.

Great transformation with the peppermint and yes, I simply love it.

roasted sweet potato and tomato soup

This roasted sweet potato and tomato soup can be prepare as dairy free soup, just skip the sour cream and replace with coconut milk.
I like spicy on the soup so I add hot chili and roasted together with the rest ingredients, if you don't like spicy at all you can skip the chili as well or just add pinch of red pepper flakes
Serve with fresh store bought french baguette or toast.
