Turtles are so popular they’ve become the namesake for many desserts with a combo of caramel, pecans and chocolate. This is [...]

peppermint pig

Last week a friend sent me a peppermint pig. To eat it, you shove it into a little velvet satchel and whack it apart with a mallet. Yesterday, I decided to use the pig in some peppermint snowball cookies. Just as I was about to bring down the mallet, Fuzz came around the corner, saw [...]
