Peppermint Puppy Chow 05

Here we are in full swing holiday week! The subways are less crowded and the office had fewer people than usual as everyone is starting to get in the holiday mood. I am not a fan of jumping the gun and focusing on Christmas before Thanksgiving is over but I do have a great new recipe for you, perfect for this entire holiday season. 

What to get coworkers is always a bit of a challenge for me and I have found in the past an easy sweet treat is the way to go. Most people will like it, it does not break the bank, and when wrapped up festively coworkers are touched you remembered them! Why not be one of the first people to start the touches of December thoughtfulness?  With over a dozen people on my list I have decided to make peppermint puppy chow and with only three ingredients I am sure anyone can make it.

I do have one caveat though, it did make a bit off a mess. I am not sure how but after blending the candy canes my kitchen floor had a light, sticky dusting of peppermint and it smelled sickeningly sweet, too much white chocolate! I had gone to Costco a few days before to pick up everything I would need for this holiday season, both for entertaining and cleaning, and had two very heavy bags to carry home.

This trip up to Harlem included picking up a refill of Swifter Wet Wipes? (isn’t it great how much more economical these things are when you buy them at Costco?) and Holiday 2015 Limited Edition Collection Febreze Air Effects, both from P&G, a company I have enjoyed working with in the past! After a quick sweep of the floor and a few sprays in the air it was as good as new! What is your must have P&G item to have on hand during the holidays?

Now that my kitchen is all cleaned up and smells like the most wonderful holiday celebration I packaged the cooled peppermint puppy chow into small plastic bags.  From there I tied them up with red and green ribbons, curled the ends, and labeled the yummy little bags for my coworkers!

Fingers crossed my coworkers like these!

How do you make your holiday moments special?

    This looks incredible! At first, I thought it was literally puppy chow hahahahaha. But then I realized it couldn’t be because I’d totally eat it!

      You do know this is only for people, because dogs would get very sick from this right? Just clarifying for you so no horrible things happen to someone’s pup or dog as it would be a nightmare!
