I used this Easy Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge recipe from InstruPix to bring to a party last year and EVERYONE loved it.

That’s what I did…cause you know I love my maple!

No Bake Peppermint White Chocolate Cheesecakes from Cooking Classy

These No Bake Peppermint White Chocolate Cheesecakes from Cooking Classy are exactly that…classy! And they’re perfect for serving at a “grown-up” Christmas party!

Peppermint Patties from The Gunny Sack

Who doesn’t love a York Peppermint Patty? I know I do and so does my family. But, these homemade Peppermint Patties from The Gunny Sack look just as good!

And that sprinkle of crushed peppermint candy on top just does a little something extra for the holidays, doesn’t it?!

Love Buckeye balls? Take them up a notch by using white chocolate to make these Peanut Butter Snowballs from The Foodie Affair.
