I bought a bag of Andes Mint Chips thinking that I would make some cookies with them.  However, my inspiration brought me in 2 different directions.

 Stay tuned on Saturated Saturday for Baileys Mint Hot Chocolate as well (what the yum)!   I just love Andes Mints so much…they are really addictive and dangerous.  They are probably one of the reasons I like going to the Olive Garden…LOL.  For some reason, my mind is drifting to the movie, “Monty Python’s Meaning of Life” where the man eats his butt off and explodes after the waiter insists on giving him an after dinner mint.  Good stuff indeed.  Yes, I’m a bit of a movie dork.  More mints please!

Pancake Sunday continues to be a tradition at my house.  However, my picky daughters won’t deviate from blueberry pancakes!  I can’t say I blame them, but I love experimenting with different flavors.  I just love the cakey fluffy goodness and all the different sauce combinations.

 I have to say that chocolate and mint is one of my new favorites.  I really had fun making different Christmas shapes using cookie cutters.  It is such an easy, fun way to make them more festive for the holidays and great for the kids!

5 Ingredient White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge

by 2 Comments

Easy and delicious White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge made in the microwave with only 5 ingredients! Great to make with kids!

This 5 Ingredient White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge is not only delicious, but so fun and EASY to make with your kids!  Just throw the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and peppermint extract into a bowl and microwave it!  

It doesn’t get much easier than that and the results are pure bliss.  This fudge will make the perfect, easy Christmas present for your neighbors and coworkers.  

White-Chocolate-Peppermint-Fudge-4

This was the perfect recipe to make with my 4 year old daughter.  She loved pouring all the ingredients into the bowl and I loved that the ingredients are low risk for epic messy disasters.  

Oh boy…check out the mess we had when I tried to teach her to crack an egg!  LOL…she keeps asking me if she can crack an egg again and I continue to avoid it like the plague.  Does anyone else remember that goofy kids’ show called “Double Dare”?  

Well, I keep having nightmares about my kids sliding on their stomachs through the kitchen floor covered in raw eggs.

White-Chocolate-Peppermint-Fudge

Okay, I couldn’t resist looking up an episode. HA…they slide through potatoes and sundae syrup in it (close enough to my nightmare).  We also had another incident a couple nights ago.  My one year old decided to do a “I Love Lucy” reenactment similar to when Lucy smashes grapes with her feet to make wine.

 In my case, my daughter stomped on a bowl of cranberries that she dumped all over the kitchen floor (I had just used them to make my Orange Cranberry Mimosa Floats…SOOO Good.)

Well, I am back to writing my posts after hours tonight to avoid collateral damage!  🙂  Hope you have as much fun as I did making this easy recipe with your kids!
