Last week I shared a recipe for Chocolate Marshmallow Moonpies as part of the Freaky Friday cookie exchange (a recipe from Bowl Me Over).
Well, I loved those cookies so much that I tried them with peppermint (my favorite flavor!).
They were amazing! So, I thought I’d share them with you. You know, if you agree that peppermint is amazing! Peppermint Brownie Sandwich Cookies!
How do I crush the candies?
To crush the {affiliate links} candies, place them, or the candy canes, in a plastic zip top bag. Seal the bag. Place the bag with the candies on a wooden cutting board. And, with the bottom of a sturdy metal measuring cup, the bottom part of the handle of a metal ice cream scoop, or a flat meat pounder, smash the heck out of the candies in the bag.
And, it’s way cheaper than therapy to smash those little candies!
Cookie Exchange
Make these for the cookie exchange and you’ll surely win top prize. Make these for Santa, and he’ll surely leave extra presents for you. Make them for the holiday potluck or the neighborhood Christmas party.
I do have a habit of adding peppermint to cookies! Check out last year when I made some Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies into Peppermint Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies.
