York Peppermint Patty Fudge {3 ingredients}

Have you already made and delivered your neighbor gift?

Uh, I have not. That is right, not made or delivered. Nada.

Oops...hehehehe...

I mean, don't get me wrong, I have made plenty of sugary delights. However, none of them have been for the specific intent of giving to neighbors.

My goal is Sunday.

If you are like me and are short on time but still want to do something, what could be easier or faster than 3 ingredient York Peppermint Patty Fudge?

Not much. Putting a bow on a bag of chocolate chips maybe, which I would happily accept. Yum.

Anywho, I digress.

Back to the York Peppermint Patty Fudge.

Three ingredients is all you will need.

You simply melt 2 cups (1 package) of dark chocolate chips and 6 York peppermint patties in a microwave safe bowl. Melt for a minute. Stir. Then melt in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth.

While the chocolate is melting, break up the other peppermint patties into smaller pieces.

Stir in 1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk to the melted chocolate. Fold in peppermint patty pieces.

Pour into an 8x8 lightly sprayed baking dish.

Let it set up for a few hours in a cold location...like a fridge, or in this case, my garage.

Cut up.

Eat or give away or eat AND give away.

I printed these free holiday gift tags from Paper Crave.

I taped them onto cardstock tags with washi tape.

I assembled the fudge in these window cupcake boxes, which I am kind of obsessed with.

Tied it closed with some ric rac and the gift tag.

All ready.

All done with gifts?

Well, nothing says you can't make some for yourself.

Yum.

Happy Holiday Eating!

Dear Santa Letter Writing Kit (and printable)

My kids write Santa every year. It normally goes a little something like this--

I gather some random pieces of construction paper. The kids round up all of their markers and crayons. We sit down and write out some last minute lists.

Did you catch the whole last minute part? Yeah, I am talking like, last, last minute. Like sometimes the night before. When that happens we just hope and pray that "Santa" guessed right .

This year I got the bee in my bonnet that I wanted it to be more special. I pretty much like to show up late to the party, I mean my oldest in almost 10 and this our first legit Santa Letter.

I guess it is okay if I show up late, as long as I bring this cute little printable Dear Santa Letter with me.

Once I made this set of Dear Santa stuff, I thought it would be cute to put together the printables and add a few other things to make it a cute little Dear Santa Letter Writing Kit that I could give as a little gift.

To the printables I added some washi wrapped pencils and then a roll of washi tape.

I made this Dear Santa Letter using PicMonkey's Santa Land. 

I am dying over these toy overlays. Seriously, how cute are they?!?

I made an image to go on an envelope. The fonts PicMonkey has for Santa Land are perfect for an envelope traveling to the North Pole.

All you need to put together you own Dear Santa Letter Writing Kit--

Dear Santa Letter
Dear Santa Envelope lable (*)
envelopes
pencils
washi tape

You can either put it all together as a fun little gift, or you can print it off for your own Littles. Or heck, you can do both.

My Little Men had fun writing their letters.

Little's drawing was pretty much my favorite part.

Even Oldest joined in the fun.  Is it just me or does he look like a teenage already. Ack!

I hope you enjoy this printable. Let me know what you think. Share it if you love and I will love you!

Merry Christmas.

*You will have to manipulate the label image to print off on the envelope.
