I simply combine regular and mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and peppermints (or candy canes) that I unwrap, put into a big zip-lock bag and crush with the flat side of our metal meat tenderizer. Unwrapping all of the peppermints is the most time consuming step of this whole process, so if you have time for that, then you're good to go!
There isn't much of a recipe to follow here. You just want to make sure that you have enough peppermint and chocolate chips in there that you get a good amount in every scoop...
I made a big jar for my best friend and her family this year, tied it with a bright red ribbon and hung a few jingle bells on it...
And this year, the kids and I decided that this would make the perfect gift for our teacher's and their families over Winter Break and all season long...
*For the adults, a dash of Amaretto is really yummy, and Peppermint Schnapps does the trick as well!*
The kids delivered the gifts to their teacher's yesterday and I am told that they received rave reviews. Hopefully, along with their families, they enjoyed a cup last night!
This also makes a wonderful gift for friends and neighbors, as a hostess gift, and even as a gift from your child to their friends.
Easy, inexpensive, and so, so yummy!
~ Enjoy ~

P.S. I bought the jars at Fred Meyer, but I know that Target sells them as well. I was able to buy them for $5 a piece, on sale. Not bad, if you ask me!
