The holidays are about to be in full swing around here. We have so much going on this time of year, and it wouldn’t be Christmas without loads of good food and fun snacks and sweets! What other time of the year can you make and eat so many sweets other than Christmas time, and it’s perfectly okay?! 🙂

This yummy peppermint white chocolate dip is a SIMPLE recipe – because we all need some super simple recipes sometimes! And, it’s something you can quickly make to take to a Christmas party or holiday gathering. Or, for a relaxing night at home, it’s the perfect holiday treat to enjoy while watching a Hallmark Christmas movie. Did someone say a Hallmark Christmas movie? All 6 of us sisters will be there. Haha!

I like to use crushed peppermint bits like this since they don’t get chewy as they sometimes do when you use crushed candy canes. Plus, if you need a time saver, these are already crushed and ready to use!
