I scream.

seriously.  how often do you truly scream for ice cream?  maybe a yell.  or a statement... "I'd like some ice cream."  We bought an ice cream maker 3 weeks ago and have made a batch of ice cream every weekend.

The mister is a purist.  Just chocolate.  I want to make fun stuff, but he just makes a face if it's not plain chocolate.  BOR-ING (but delicious).

I finally convinced him to let me make mint chocolate chip last weekend and he reluctantly said that was cool, but he probably wouldn't eat much.

guess who was begging me to make more mint chocolate chip last night.

best flavor we've tried so far.

recipe here.

send me an angel... right. now.

so at our little shindig the other day, I decided to give these a go.  

inspired by this pin.

cream cheese + peppermint extract + powdered sugar + powdered sugar + powdered sugar + just a little more powdered sugar = these little angels

don't you love my heavenly effect?

peppermint + chocolate = a winning combo!

peppermint and chocolate is one of my favorite flavor combinations.  

peppermint bark is something that I get really excited to make when the holidays roll around.

here's a peek at my first batch of the season...

I usually put my peppermints in a plastic bag and go at them with a hammer, but this time I used the food processor... requires much less effort, but much more cleaning.
