Peppermint Meltaways
Peppermint and I have a life long love affair. I love peppermint candies, candy canes, Starbucks Peppermint Mocha, peppermint tea, York Peppermint candies, and especially peppermint bark.
Peppermint is a cross between watermint and spearmint and is native to Europe. Historically, the herb has been known for its medicinal uses. Hence it is often termed as the world’s oldest medicine. The recipe here is not healthy but it is delicious. This recipe is from The Tasty Planner
