Chocolate Candy Cane Blossoms

“So tonight we gonna party like it’s 1999 12-21-12.”

Congratulations! If you are reading this, the Mayans were thankfully drunk off tequila when they decided the world was going to end on 12-21-12. It’s like 2000 all over again, except I’m old enough to celebrate with a drink this time around.

Sometimes I get into things a little bit too much. Like theme parties or celebrating my birthday for an entire month. Same goes for the worlds gonna end events. New Years Eve 1999 and 12-20-12 were both spent with me enjoying it like it could actually possibly be my last day. Sure I didn’t believe the world would end on either day, but that didn’t stop me from eating like calories didn’t count, shopping at Target like I had someone else’s credit card and drinking wine before 5pm. :)

I wanted to share the fun of eating like the calories don’t count, so I took these Chocolate Candy Cane Blossoms around to our friends and family. We are leaving tomorrow to spend Christmas in Texas with all of my family, so I wanted the chance to spread a little Christmas cheer before I left.

These Chocolate Candy Cane Blossoms are exactly that – Christmas Cheer. The chocolate cookie is scrumptious all on it’s own, but the added bit of white chocolate and peppermint on top really sends it over the top. This cookie is also great with the Hershey’s Cordial Cherry Creme Kisses. I actually preferred it with the Cherry Kisses over the Candy Cane ones! Use whichever your family likes better!

Merry Christmas!! (…or Happy Hanukah…Happy Kwanzaa…or just plain Happy Holidays!)
