Aside from the best Hot Chocolate Bar and a plethora of cookies, we had many other sweets & treats at the Second Annual Christmas Pajama Party. Actually, only two that were photographed. These are both super easy to make any time of the year, so, uhh, please don't be offended if I start to eat these year-round
Schnuggles
Hershey's Kisses (I used regular chocolate, mint chocolate, and peppermint)
Square pretzels (the ones that look like windows)
Christmas M&M's
Directions:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange square pretzels on the parchment paper so they are all facing up and not laying on each other - do not use broken pretzels. Place one unwrapped Hershey Kiss on top of each pretzel. Bake in oven for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is soft. Remove from oven and immediately press one M&M onto the top of each Kiss, flattening it. Place parchment paper with Schnuggles on top in fridge until they harden. Enjoy!
Peppermint Bark
Chocolate (I used one bag of dark chocolate chips and one bag of white chocolate chips)
Candy canes, crushed
Directions:
Melt chocolate in the refrigerator, one variety at a time. Begin by heating the chips for 30 seconds and stir. Continue heating in 10-second intervals, stirring each time until they are melted. While chocolate chips are melting, cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Crush candy canes in a plastic bag. As soon as the chocolate is melted, immediately pour it onto the aluminum foil and spread using a knife. If you want to make marble peppermint bark, pour the dark chocolate and white chocolate side by side and swirl them together with a knife. Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top and press into chocolate if needed. Allow chocolate to set on the counter or in the refrigerator. As soon as it is hard, break it into pieces and enjoy!
