Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Lifesaver Bark

As I was strolling through the grocery store a while back, I passed by all the Christmas candy. My eye caught a colorful little package of Lifesaver flavored candy canes. I grabbed them....along with a package of white chocolate chips and made this fun little snack! It's a little twist on the standard peppermint bark. If you've got some little kids around and would like a fun Christmas treat that they can help with, then this is the treat for you!

Lifesaver Bark



12 Lifesaver flavored candy canes
1 package white chocolate chips

Unwrap the candy canes and place them in a large ziptop baggie.

Smash 'em up. You want some teeny pieces and some larger pieces, too.

Try to fish out some of the larger pieces to sprinkle on top of the chocolate.

Melt the chocolate.

Mix in the smaller pieces of candy into the chocolate.

Spread the chocolate onto a piece of parchment paper....kind of thin.

Then sprinkle the larger pieces of candy on top, pressing them down into the chocolate.

I sprinkled some colorful sprinkles on top just to make it more festive.

Allow to cool then break into pieces.


Here's all you need.

Crush 'em!
Crush 'em! I used my meat mallet.


Separate the bigger pieces from the some of the "dust" and the smaller pieces. I just put my candy in a bowl and gave it a few shakes and the larger pieces rose to the top.
