It is beginning to look a little too much like Christmas, a little too fast!
Oh my gosh, where has the year gone? Seriously?
Before I knew it, it was December. I don’t think I really realized how close we were to Christmas until the mountains of candy canes came streaming into school (work).
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies Are The Answer To An Overload of Candy Canes
It is at that stage where they are still a novelty factor, you know- every single card has a candy cane attached, or is that just at my work?
Now, I have to say – that is not on MY cards, but the cards the kidlets are giving each other. It is like some of the kids now have a candy cane permanently attached to their hands, or to their mouths.
Can you say sugar rush? Hypo? Crazy….?
My time will come; the kids are so generous and they love sharing the magic of Christmas with candy canes. I just can’t eat 30 of them!
Sorry, I could try… but what about all the other Christmas goodies I wouldn’t have room for?
Do you have the same problem?
You end up with SO many candy canes, but you don’t want to throw them out? It seems so wasteful, I know- I can’t throw them out.
So, I have a solution for you. A good one.
It is one of those occasions where the end product is SO much better than the initial ingredient.
Sure, you could make a candy cane bark, but I have something much better for you.
That something comes in the form of cookies. Mint chocolate chip cookies to be precise.
