Peppermint Crisps











Curiosity got the best of me today and the result was bubbly peppermint crisps. I originally purchased tiny candy canes as part of my holiday gift wrapping scheme, but I couldn't shake the inclination to throw them on a silpat and pop them in the oven. A few short minutes later, these lacy little beauties were born. While I haven't quite figured out the best use for the paper thin wafers, nestling them in a cloud of whipped cream seemed like a festive way to top off a warm fudge brownie. Delicate enough to melt in your mouth, these merry candy garnishes were sweet minty perfection.
