This looks SO yummy, I will definitely be trying it! Can I just say though, a long time ago you did a post about mushy cereal and oatmeal and your search for something better. I went to my local Winco, back to their bulk section, and got myself a small bag of those steel cut oats you highlighted. I wanted to come back and tell you THANK YOU! Not only do I love them, but my kids love them too! It's nice that when the choice is either "oatmeal" or your garden variety of sugar frosted cocoa bombs, they now ask me for oatmeal :) So, thanks again!
These look absolutely delicious! I love chocolate/mint combo as well. Especially Marta's Choco Mint Brownies!
P.S. I made your Peppermint Bark for a holiday get-together last night and it was absolutely the hit of the party!
Derico - I am so glad! They really are so much better!
Julie - I am glad everyone liked it! My favorite part is how easy that is to make!
these were SO easy! I just made them for a family Christmas party and they were a HIT! :) Thanks so much!
