Gooood Morning!
Kellyn here with another great recipe for you. In September and October it was everything Pumpkin. This month and next will be Peppermint, of course 🙂 After all, you can’t welcome in the Christmas season without a delicious peppermint treat. I’m not crazy about plain candy canes, but there is something special about biting into a soft treat sprinkled with little crunchy bits of peppermint. These are similar to last weeks yummy post, https://lilluna.com/peppermint-sugar-cookies/.
These cheesecake bars took just a few minutes to whip up. Simple ingredients, a few simple steps, 1-2 hours of chill time and you’ve got a cool Christmas treat that everyone is sure to love! The kiddos really loved them too. Check out those smiles. Make these and you’ll be smiling too 🙂
