peppermint inspired

There is nothing more yummy than peppermint treats at Christmas. As a matter of fact, my boys stirred hot chocolate with the old fashion melt in your mouth kind just last night. Their little faces were so happy… and sticky. {wink}

So in honor of my favorite flavor of the season, here are a few “gotta make’em” ideas:

• Candy Cane Brownie Lollipops from Clever Parties Blog
• Peppermint Pinwheels from Southern Living
• Chocolate Peppermint Cookies from Martha Stewart
• Chocolate Peppermint Tree Whoopie Pies {I wish I knew; would love to give credit! Update: Alison tells me it’s William Sonoma. Thanks!!}
• Chocolate Peppermint Cake from Ladies Home Journal
• Peppermint Hot Fudge Sundae from Martha Stewart

• No-bake Peppermint Place House from Martha Stewart {I think I’m in love!}
• Chocolate Dipped Peppermint Sticks from Country Living

• Peppermint Mail Post craft from Family Fun
• Peppermint Candy Ornament craft from Martha Stewart

Hope everyone is taking a moment to enjoy the season!
