A Peppermint Christmas

I have a confession to make, I am seriously addicted to peppermint bark (okay, let's be honest, pretty much anything with peppermint & chocolate). I am relatively certain that I have eaten my weight this season in peppermint goodness (I am considering investing in a pair of elastic waistband jeans to get me through the season if that tells you anything). Officially, we have declared peppermint bark a condiment in our house and sprinkle it on ice cream, cookies, brownies, milkshakes, & cupcakes. So today, for my love of peppermint deliciousness (is that even a word?), I am sharing some yummy ideas with you for the holidays.

Hi. Visiting from SITS. That all looks so yummy. My hubby hates peppermint though, so I'd be the 1 eating it all if I made any of them.

So glad that you stopped in via SITS or I might not have found you otherwise. I love the peppermint tablescape. The fancy peppermint embellished cake is adorable too. Wouldn't it me perfect for a Christmas time wedding?

where do you buy peppermint bark?!

Unknown said...

Tiffani-My favorite peppermint bark is from Williams Sonoma & Ghiradelli makes a yummy one too which you can find pretty much anywhere. You can also make your own batch & it is fairly simple to make: http://www.mybakingaddiction.com/2008/12/peppermint-bark-and-giveaway.html
