Peppermint Bark Cannoli recipe for the win, friends! These babies are perfect for a cookie exchange, a holiday movie, or enjoying with family.

It’s not the holiday season if you haven’t had a healthy dose of peppermint chocolate bark, right? Weirdly enough, I, Alyssa, wasn’t always a fan of it. But now I can’t get enough.

I’ll eat it plain or put it on just about anything, ice cream, popcorn, pancakes. You name it! I’ll even eat it with peppermint bark. Case in point, my peppermint bark cannoli recipe.

Cannoli are one of those simple desserts that don’t need many ingredients to make them taste good. But then again, a little jazzing up never hurt anybody! So with the holidays and peppermint bark on the brain, jazzing up a cannoli is exactly what I did.

While the results look super festive and fancy, I promise they’re as simple to make as dipping pre-made shells in chocolate and crushed bark. Whipping up a ricotta mixture (which turns the prettiest shade of pink thanks to the peppermint in the bark) and then pipe the mixture into the cannoli shells.

If you’re looking for a Christmas cookie that is as easy to makeas it is to eat, then these peppermint bark cannoli are definitely for you!

How to Make Peppermint Bark Cannoli

Step 1 – Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.

Step 2 – Melt the chocolate chips until smooth. Dip one or both ends (whichever you prefer) of a cannoli shell into the melted chocolate, then into the chopped bark.

Step 3 – Set on the lined baking sheet and repeat the process until you’ve dipped all the cannoli shells. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.

Step 4 – Meanwhile, stir together the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and remaining peppermint bark (reserving a tablespoon or so to sprinkle on top) until combined.

Step 5 – Scoop the mixture into a small sandwich bag and keep it in the fridge until the shells are ready.

Step 6 – Once the shells are set, snip a tiny corner off the sandwich bag and pipe the peppermint filling into each shell. Sprinkle with the reserved crushed peppermint bark.

These babies are perfect for enjoying with friends, bringing to a cookie exchange party, or nibbling on with a holiday movie!

If you just so happen to have any leftovers, keep them safe in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
