Quick Last Minute Gift!

Pin It

We have NINE more days until Christmas!!! Aaack! 

Here's an easy and very quick gift to make up when you are short on time. 

I love haystacks during Christmastime, you know––the chow mein, butterscotch and chocolate treats that are so popular. Well, this year I decided to modify the recipe and do a minty, white chocolate-y version and if I do say so myself, they are outstanding! 

Of course I can't just do a foil wrapped chinet plate (heehee), so I bought some very inexpensive materials and whipped up a great looking little package to give to everyone. Makes this treat all the sweeter! An inexpensive vase, satin ribbon, fabric, a little cardinal flown in from China and some very faux greenery made this gift, in my opinion, adorable! I can't wait to give these out!

Here's the recipe:

You know I don't measure, right? Which is why I stick to such rudimentary recipes––the accuracy of baking boggles my mind completely and frankly, I'm not that ambitious! 

You can use more/less peppermint oil. Just taste as you add. I'd speculate that I used 2 tsp, but it may have been more.  These were quite the hit at a party I brought them to a few weeks ago. **Most important: small portions....not just for  the sake your hips, but these tend to be difficult to eat if you have to take more than two bites!
