Naughty and Nice Christmas treats...

These are some simple and terribly tasty Christmas treats.  I love all things Mint and Chocolate and loved both of these.  I ate them too fast to even take a picture!

Peppermint Marshmallow Fudge

1 can sweetened condensed Milk
1 package (12 oz) milk chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups marshmallows ( I used the new Jet Puff Peppermint Marshmallows)


In a microwave safe large bowl combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.  Microwave on high for 1 minute.  Stir and microwave for an additional minute, stir until mixture is smooth and add vanilla.  Mix in marshmallows and pour into lightly greased 8x8 pan.  Allow to set, overnight if possible.





Tollhouse Chocolate Mint chip cookies

1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup white sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup cocoa
2 cups flour
10oz bag of Tollhouse dark chocolate/mint chocolate chips


Beat butter with sugars, add vanilla, and then eggs-one at a time.  Add baking soda and salt, mix in cocoa, and then flour.  Stir in chocolate chips.

Spoon onto lightly greased baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 11 minutes.  Allow to cool on pan for 2 minutes before moving to a cooling rake.  Makes 3 dozen large cookies.
