This is one of my very
favorite fixes. Most everyone
knows by now that chocolate has near-magical properties of making you feel
good. Not only that, but it’s fun
to feel good with friends and enjoy the spirit of the holidays. With lots of tasks tugging on your
time, I thought you might appreciate something that you could either use for
yourself or take to your next party – and in only fifteen minutes!

Anne’s Chocolate
Peppermint Dip Cookies
Ingredients:
1 Package of Famous
Chocolate Wafers
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
(Ghirardelli’s 60% Cocoa)
3 Candy Canes
Melt the chocolate chips in
a double boiler. While waiting for
them to melt, place a piece of wax paper or parchment paper on top of 4 cooling
racks. Place the wrapped candy canes in a plastic bag, zip it up, and bang the canes with
a hammer until you get very fine pieces.
Reach in the bag and take out the plastic tubes.
When the chocolate is
mostly melted, take a chocolate wafer and dip topside down in the
chocolate. Shake off excess and
place on the paper, bottom-side
down, to cool. When you have the cooling rack full,
sprinkle some of the peppermint bits on each cookie.
Continue to dip until all
the chocolate and peppermint have been used. Let cookies cool completely before storing in a tin lined with wax paper.
This is great recipe to experiment with by using different combinations of cookies, chocolates and toppings. It's really fun
to do with the kids, too!
