Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I made it one year, to share with others. I'm not quite sure why it didn't appeal to me. I'm such a peppermint lover too, so I was very disappointed. Maybe I didn't add enough peppermint or something. I added what the recipe suggested. It did look pretty. I put my candies in a ziplock bag and crushed with a can or something it seems. Maybe I put them in my Vita Mix. LOL now I can't remember. Oh well. I hope you guys love it.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 It isn't hard to eat. It is crushed peppermint and the chocolate is easy to eat also.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Are you a white chocolate fan? I'm not, so much. I would make it with a nice DARK chocolate though! -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog , " wwjd " <jtwigg wrote: > > I made it one year, to share with others. I'm not quite sure why it didn't appeal to me.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Normally I enjoy White Chocolate too. I bet it would be good with the dark or milk chocolate though.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Just the same.. I do the sweets for everyone else. I do the fudge and this year some of its getting shipped to 2 new friends. and the rest will go to my mother and 15 nieces and nephews. And a couple that my mom takes care of. I snack enough through out the year I think I could afford not to eat it and hubbys waiting on insurance to kick in so that he can get a tooth fixed or pulled its been buggin him for awhile so I know hes not gonna eat any of my sweets this year. Not much getting made here this year so ill send the recipes out for someone to use. Jenn , " wwjd " <jtwigg wrote: > > It isn't hard to eat.
