Doesn't this look good
Candy Cane Brownie Trifle
I can't have this kinda stuff but my eyes sure can![]()
I have two favorite Christmas candies, and one of them is peppermint bark, the layers of dark chocolate, white chocolate, then crushed peppermint hard candy on top. One square is a way for me to have two bites without doing damage.
The other best one is clove flavored ribbon candy, which is almost impossible to find in stores, so you have to mail order it, so I hardly ever have it. I'm not gonna pay shipping for what is basically pure sugar candy. It does turn up in the foofoo grocery store some years.
Self denial is HARD during the winter holidays, when you feel like you owe yourself gingerbread, peppermint mocha, fudge, and somebody is always walking in the door with homemade pumpkin bread or some other thing you don't dare touch.
