I absolutely love chocolate and peppermint this time of year.
Last year, I couldn’t stop eating these pretzel thins covered in dark chocolate and peppermint. I haven’t bought any this year because I know it’s not a treat I can eat in moderation.
So instead, I made my own chocolate peppermint treat.
These are very similar to my Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Cups. They are super simple to make and absolutely delicious.
