1

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place white chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave uncovered for 2-3 minutes. Stir, and continue heating in short intervals until chocolate is smooth and glossy when you stir it.
2

Pour chocolate out onto parchment and use a large rubber spatula to spread in a thin, even layer (about 1/4 inch thick).
3

Immediately sprinkle crushed gingersnaps over chocolate, followed by the gumdrops, chocolate candies and soft peppermints.
4

Let stand about 30 minutes or until firm, or refrigerate if necessary. Break into 2-inch pieces. Store covered at room temperature.

Expert Tips

Just like a real gingerbread house, you can decorate this bark however you like! Feel free to use more or less of each topping than called for in the recipe to get a custom creation.
Depending on the size of your gumdrops, you may need to cut them in half lengthwise so that they lay flat on the chocolate.
Parchment paper works best for this recipe, but you can also use wax paper or foil in a pinch.
