What's first, food or Merry Christmas! I suppose, MERRY CHRISTMAS! It's been a fantastic day and though I didn't get to make a meal, I made chocolate peppermint patties, and grand peanut butter balls. For the peppermint patties, I combined butter, evaporated milk, peppermint extract, and powdered sugar to make the inside patties. Of course, for the outside I used butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and corn syrup to thin out the chocolate. For the peanut butter balls I combined peanut butter with butter, until it was really smooth. Not creamy. Then, I added powdered sugar until I created a dough like texture. I froze the patties and the peanut butter balls overnight and then dipped them the following day in the chocolate sauce. I also added crushed peppermint to the tops of the peppermint patties to make them slightly more festive. It's been a great Christmas and I am happy to say that although I didn't cook a Christmas meal, I got to cook at Christmas Eve meal and that was just as wonderful. Happy cooking and Merry Christmas!
