What is it about the holidays
that makes things so crazy busy?
I have the bulk of my
Christmas shopping done (and have since before Thanksgiving), so it’s not that.
I’ve been doing quite a bit of
holiday baking, but I’m pretty much always baking something, so I don’t think
that’s it either.
Holiday
parties? I only have one and it’s not
until next week (note to self: throw a holiday party – wait – then I’ll be
busier!)
Whether it’s the hustle and bustle
of Christmas shopping or Moose Mugs raised (and raised and raised again) in
Christmas cheer, the holiday season is busy for all.
And since we all love holiday
treats, this next one is pretty quick and easy.
The longest step is the freezing.
And though I have mine freezing for an hour, it can stay in overnight or
two nights, or three, or until you catch a break from your various holiday
tidings.
Oh and it also fulfills
another of my 30x30 bucket list recipes!
Woot!
Recipe Notes:
*Be careful when measuring the peppermint extract. Peppermint extract is quite strong. When too much is used in a recipe (any
recipe), it can taste almost medicinal.
*This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for even more minty
deliciousness.
*When dipping candy in chocolate, I like a richer, more
robust chocolaty flavor, so I add just a bit of extra dark chocolate to fill
out the flavor profile.
