Our experience in making peppermint creams recipe
Making peppermint creams recipe is one great hit for us. Eyes lit up at the sight of melted chocolate. Memories of our [m] is for mixing cooking experience flooded their minds; stories of writing in melted chocolate, custard, and condensed milk made us all smile.
Little fingers quickly worked at covering the peppermint creams in chocolate; they wanted to finish the remains of the melted chocolate themselves! It was a good thing they wanted to work quickly because as the melted cooking chocolate sets, it becomes harder to work with. It’s all so fun!

I have put a link to your blog on my latest blog http://www.pudsyoulike.co.uk/my-top-5-recipes-for-july-cooking-with-kids/ hope you can share.
Would these have to be refrigerated since they contain the egg white? Or are they shelf stable? These look so great! I’m thinking teacher gifts. 🙂
Makes my mouth water just looking at them!
Ohh I love these and they make such a great gift for friends, neighbours and family.
Yep, spoiler alert to my friends, neighbours and family.. tee hee hee.
I can’t wait to try this. I love all things peppermint and for some reason this country is not into minty things 🙁 so I must make it on my own. Mari
I wasn’t too sure if MY kids would like them as they seem to dislike ANYTHING GREEN (they resemble vegetables – oh no!) – lol. They loved these green mouthfuls though.
