\"mint\"<\/a>Who said anything about last minute?<\/p>\n

I am one of those people who puts candy canes on the christmas tree. I so strongly associate this mint with the holidays. So this year, I decided to look around for some peppermint inspired DIY gifts.<\/p>\n

Shutterbean’s Cookies and Cream Peppermint Bark<\/a> makes me drool if I think about it. I love the cookies in the  bark, and I love that she gave me an excuse to buy some of the Trader Joe candy cane sandwich cookies.<\/p>\n

Who wouldn’t want peppermint marshmallows<\/a> in hot chocolate. Wait, I confess that I know one person who wouldn’t. But if the people on your list don’t mind your chocolate mingling with your mint, then this might be the thing for you.<\/p>\n

I wish I made popcorn more than I did. However, it’s probably a good thing that I don’t make it more often. Usually when I am popping popcorn, it means that something about the day has made me lose the will to eat a proper meal. White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn<\/a>, however is something different. It’s special. It’s festive!<\/p>\n

Peppermint Sugar Scrub<\/a> sounds so tasty, but it’s probably better not eaten. When I finished a batch and tried the leftovers, I am happy to say that I successfully restrained myself from licking my hand.<\/p>\n

I made  this Candy Cane Vodka<\/a> and took it to a party. It was a hit! It’s too easy to make not to give away.<\/p>\n

Why stop there when you can also whip up some peppermint cocoa<\/a>?<\/p>\n
