Hi I’m Emily from It Bakes Me Happy and I am super excited to be a contributor here on Something Swanky! Today and in the coming year I will be sharing my love of brownies and bar desserts for your sweet satisfaction.

Since it’s December I wanted to share an easy and delicious treat you can add to your holiday line up and it’s perfect for gifting if you like giving the gift of baked goods. These soft chocolate chip cookie bars are packed with bits of crushed peppermint candy and topped with a drizzle of chocolate. Plus they look way more fancy than the effort they require to make, so you’ll look like a pro when you serve them to family and friends.

Gingerbread Cookie Bark Recipe

This gingerbread cookie bark is so easy and so cute! Perfect for Christmas cookie giving away — and eating.

I have to confess something… I’ve never been much of a gingerbread fan. I mean, it’s always been okaaaaaay. But I’ve just never understood why anyone would want to eat gingerbread when there are so many other incredible holiday treats to be had?! Like chocolate pie and peanut butter truffles and peppermint cheesecake!

I always just thought, Gingerbread? What’s the point?

That was until I tried this Gingerbread Cookie Bark. It’s changed everything.
