I am eating too many York Peppermint Patties. I need to quit them. They are

close to perfect food.

1. Plus now you have to find your way back home from that mountaintop.

That's gotta be annoying.

2. I have an incredible weakness

for Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. Just can't start eating them, I'd never stop.

5. My wife has them in the drawer near the YPPs. It is hard to pass them up.

3. I really don't understand the meaning of this phrase:

eating too many York Peppermint Patties

It's like saying, I'm breathing in too much oxygen.

4. Does Charlie Brown know?

7. Marcie would be even more upset.

I always thought they were a "couple". Just sayin'.

6. IMO they are best when alternated with peanut brittle, preferably by the dozen.

I can just about put myself in diabetic shock with that combo.

8. homemade peppermint patties

3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract

mix that with a beater. Add enough powdered sugar to make it stiff. (around 4 cups)

form into patties (or blobs, whatever). Air dry on wax or parchment paper.

Dip into melted mix of 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips and 2 teaspoons shortening


-------
you can vary it to make a mix of chocolates for gift giving - sometimes
I skip the peppermint extract and mix in citric acid and raspberry or orange flavoring to taste.
