Every holiday season I do a special class for one of the local girl scout troops. This is the "craft" item that they are making this weekend...a nice little treat for a friend or teacher.
Hint: Over the past few months the York Peppermint Patties have been repackaged and are now in a "foil pouch" instead of the nice ROUND wrapper (which is what is needed for these darling trinkets.) Sooo, after searching high and low, I discovered that the there is a brand name called Pearsons that you can get at Walmart. Also, if you want to go a bit more expensive the incredible tasting DOVE BLISS pieces of chocolate work well too. (They are kinda rounded squares but still work great. I highly recommend the PEPPERMINT BARK or CARAMEL ones.) :)
