MINTY CHOCOLATE TREATS


*this is not my photo. Very pretty, just not mine. I ground my peppermint to almost a powder.

Using a food processor grind the following ingredients together:

1/2 container of Oreo cookies (or any chocolate/cream cookie)
3/4 c slivered/sliced almonds
1/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 c sugar

Transfer the ground ingredients to a bowl.
Stir in 1/4 c chocolate milk
1/3 c light corn syrup

Mixture is thick and gooey.

Shape in to 3/4 inch balls and roll in crushed peppermint candy. If you want really fine, ground up peppermint use the food processor to grind)

Store in refrigerator.

Now post your own holiday recipe or foodie item, tip or trick and run on over to Lana AND Lisa's blog and post!!!
