    Ah yes, I love chocolate peppermint!

    I much prefer After Eights. My mom only ever bought them around Christmas time.

    How about Andes mints? So good!

    Definitely love Andes, but the After Eights scream Christmas to me because childhood association, you know?

    I just realized the title includes treats. Aside of cookies I look forward to peppermint ice cream every year. Going to Trader Joe's right before Christmas is expensive as I love peppermint even more than pumpkin spice!

    Speaking of peppermint and Trader Joe's, these are seasonal AFAIK:

    They are like an Oreo with a dark chocolate coating plus peppermint. My sister gave me a box one year and I ate most of it on the drive home. Nom nom nom.

    These look awesome! There's something about Trader Joe's that makes me devour food on the way home, I put everything in the trunk now. I used to open triple ginger cookies or the peanut butter cups on the way home.

    Peppermint everything rocks, I'd pick some of TJ peppermint options like peppermint Joe Joe's or actual peppermint bark over Ghirardelli but I would not turn it down!

    we always called them "easy-do squares" growing up, because they're so easy to make. My mom makes them every year. These are essentially what they are: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/chocolate-chip-cheese-bars/

    Never made this before, but I see that changing very soon.

    My daughter makes a peanut butter pie and a cinnamon roll cake that are to die for (two different desserts, not all rolled together in one :D ). I look forward to them all year long

    Indeed, those look dangerously easy.

    My homemade Cucidate, a Sicilian Fig cookie. A pain to make but oh so delicious. Just finished a big batch

    I made Fantasy Fudge, Haystacks (with mini marshmallows as someone suggested on this thread++++they are awesome), and those pretzels rings using Hershey’s kisses and m&m’s. Used candy cane kisses with mint m&m’s and milk chocolate kisses with caramel m&m’s.

    Found this beautiful classic at Costco, took everything I had to just leave it there. But I ended up buying two bags anyway.
