Foodie fridays: chocolate peppermint holiday bites
Indulge in the holiday spirit with chocolate peppermint holiday bites, offering a delightful blend of rich chocolate and refreshing peppermint flavors.
“Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In a lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We’re happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.”
Ahhhh…Christmas.
There’s no other holiday quite like it.
From the calmness of the winter white snowfall to the festive holiday lights to roaring fires to endless pours of peppermint eggnog, it all has a special place in our heart. Christmas is the one time of the year where anything is possible. In a way, it’s magical.
The fact that one jolly, white-bearded man can ride in a sleigh with nine reindeer (one with a particular glowing red nose) around the world in one night delivering presents to all the good boys and girls is without a doubt, magical.
The fact that a curmudgeon of a man is visited by three spirits – past, present and future, and is a changed man overnight is crazy, but without a doubt, magical.
And the fact that a snowman who sings of silver and gold can bring someone instant joy…. that is without a doubt, magical.
But what if we told you that we could add to this list?
What if we told you that a single, bite-size cookie contains all the Christmas magic you’ll need?
We realize this is a bold statement, but we don’t mess around when chocolate and peppermint are in the picture. What doesn’t scream Christmas other than peppermint icing piped between two miniature chocolate cookies and then topped with a layer of chocolate, and then decorated with holiday cheer?
Okay, besides the scene from Mean Girls when they are performing to “Jingle Bell Rock”, but you get the picture.
If you feel like spreading Christmas magic, then make these savory cookies for the people you love.
Hold on.
This just came over the wire.
“we'll double gifts this year if you leave these chocolate-peppermint cookies by the fireplace” – Santa
Wait a minute…. We don’t have a wire….
Merry Christmas!
Conclusion: Conclude your festivities with chocolate peppermint holiday bites, a reliable treat that captures the essence of the season in every savory bite.
