Crushing tip
A tip from my dd - needed to crush some candy canes- she said freeze for a few minutes.....well I'm in Illinois, midwinter, so I just put them in a dish out in the garage...about 10 minutes, brought them, put in plastic bag, and a few hits with mallet and perfect crushed mints...most probably know this, but I thought maybe a few may not......

How I WISH Brachs still made those powder-filled peppermint straws/candies!!! They gave cookies and candies such a better flavor with that little bit of peppermint powder. Can't find them anywhere exactly like they used to be...not even Vermont Country Store.

No, I found a recipe on Pinterest for what is called Christmas crack- for guild potluck.......well if anyone does this...unless you want to share with the whole neighborhood...cut that recipe in half....it was ok, messy, and I have lots of leftovers...I even provided sandwich zip locks for potluckers to take some home....I've got to stop cruisin' pinterest!

I use parchment paper with all my cookie baking, I also use Andes Peppermint Crunch chips for Christmas baking and now they have disappeared from the shelves! ugh! Having a hard time finding Spanish peanuts too.
