If you're as ready as I am to get it out of the house for the new year (and to keep those new year's resolutions), gather it up and make one last treat. This project is super easy, and the kids can help too! With just a few simple items you'll be on your way.

    Ingredients:
    Leftover candy (peppermint candies and candy canes work well)
    White chocolate
    Oreo cookies (or something similar)
    Parchment or wax paper.

    Directions:
    1. Unwrap and crush the peppermint candies in a food processor or blender.
    2. Melt the white chocolate in a bowl by microwaving for 30 seconds at a time. Stir the chocolate after every 30 seconds so that it doesn't burn.
    3. Dip the cookies in white chocolate and place on a sheet of parchment paper. Sprinkle the crushed peppermint on top. Repeat until you have dipped all of your Oreos.

    Don't move the cookies until the white chocolate has cooled and hardened. If you'd rather, box them up and give them to teachers, friends, or coworkers.

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
