And finally, the last post of Christmas goodies for this year.  These were really surprisingly good, so good in fact, that I did not take them to the neighbors as planned!  They come from a blog called “Something Swanky”.

2 cups flour

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

2 cups white chocolate peppermint candy, like Andes peppermint bits (Target actually had a bag of Andes Peppermint Baking Bits so that’s what I used)

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1  Preheat oven to 350.

2  Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut butter into sugar and flour until crumbly.

3  Press a little more than half the crumbs into the bottom of a lined 9 x 13″ baking dish.

4  Melt 1 cup of peppermint bits and milk over low heat until smooth.  Pour over crumb crust in pan.

5  Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture and peppermint bits.

6  Bake 20 minutes or until edges just barely begin to brown.

7  Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
