What a beautiful round-up of peppermint recipes, Tricia! I just read your answer to Monique’s comment. I had almost bought a bar of locally made white confection but went with white chips instead. Yikes! I think I’ll return them at get the white bark instead 🙂
Monica
What a great array of peppermint treats! I’d take them all, please. : ) I just love indulging in all things chocolate and peppermint this time of year…kind of wonder why we don’t eat it more often but I guess that’s what makes things special. Different tastes conjure up different times and seasons. Enjoy the upcoming weekend!
Tricia Buice
You too Monica – and thanks so much for stopping by!
Chris Scheuer
Peppermint and chocolate are one of my favorite combinations of flavors ever. But, for some reason, it only seems “right” around the holidays. So thanks for all this wonderful inspiration (and for including our fudge :)).
Tricia Buice
Thank you Chris – have a wonderful weekend!
Gerlinde @Sunnycovechef

Tricia Buice
Yes indeed Wendy! Hope you are enjoying your holidays.
Monique
Fabulous again!
So tell me what was up with me today,I was intent on making your brownies w/ white choco and peppermint..so Caroline brought me candy canes..
I left my chocoalte on the brownies forever..never melted..when I was making them..I thought ..I love this.. no big Kitchen Aid..one bowl like the best brownie recipes we have..all went well until the Ghiardelli chips..THEY would not melt..so I took the chips off..(not pretty) and tried bain-marie..nope..so all these bowls I am using:(
What’s up w/ those chips?So disappointing..I did not think I needed my Calllebaut..anyways I sti=uck a chip on every brownie and a candy cane crumble..I sent them home w/ the boys..
I was INTENT:)
Tricia Buice
Oh no Monique – I don’t care for white chocolate chips because they don’t melt well. I recommended a good quality bar chocolate for this recipe because it can be a problem to melt the white chocolate chips without any additives like coconut oil or solid shortening. In the post for the peppermint brownies, I linked to an article about choosing the best which chocolate. So very sorry 🙁 I just knew you would love them!
Monique
I am making a cake..w/ white choco frosting..I bought Chipits better rethink:(
Tricia Buice
Sounds lovely! I thought about a fluffy icing instead of the white chocolate – but went with the peppermint bark riff. Enjoy and hope this turns out better.
