These bars are a great make-ahead dessert. I like to make them a day or two ahead of time so the flavors can really meld together.

I made these bars for my kids' birthday party and they were a huge success. The kids loved the fun colors and the peppermint flavor. They're also a great way to get kids involved in the kitchen.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover candy canes. I usually have a few leftover after the holidays and I love crushing them up and adding them to the batter.

I've made these bars several times and they always turn out perfect. The recipe is very forgiving and you can easily adjust it to your own taste. For example, I like to add a little extra peppermint extract to give them a stronger flavor.
