With frost in the air, a dusting of snow on the ground, and Christmas around the corner, peppermint just feels right these days. I love it best when paired with chocolate. Even if you aren't a baker or cook, this post includes fun and fabulous pre-made peppermint presents like a Peppermint Polka Dot Cake at Neimans (on sale with free shipping), and Williams-Sonoma's Peppermint Bark that is always a hit. Homemade or purchased from a trustworthy source, gifting food is always a good idea at the Holidays. Scroll down and get cooking!

Like visions of sugarplum fairies. What a pretty little cake this is!
A great gift for anyone crazy for cocoa!

The Cookie Rookie
This recipe takes about 10 – 15 minutes to make and it is completely addictive! Miss "Shop This" and I made it one year. I remember thinking it was messy, or maybe it was the Mistletoe Margaritas we were drinking? It was indeed delish, though!

If they can't get enough peppermint in their life,...this makes a fun gift for the entire family. No, you can't eat this gift, but it sure has all of the Holiday feels.
Nordstrom
Miss "Shop This" has a Christmas Eve Birthday. I just know that she would love this for her cake this year. Too bad she will be in Spain, and not with her Mama! If you are not a baker, the recipe calls for a box of brownie mix.

I thought they were real, too. Made from red and white clay dough then sprinkled with glitter. Just perfect for your Holiday buffet or dinner table. You will have these for years.
This recipe is for Mollie. Hidden below all of that caramelized sugar is a creamy chocolate custard flavored with peppermint and coffee liqueur. Oh YUM!
Kitchen Konfidence
Made with Nespresso VertuoLine Limited Edition Swiss, this just looks delicious, even for this non coffee drinking girl. As far as the spiking, it's Peppermint Schnapps.

Made with sugar, these sure are a sweet way to serve a drink! I think I must have these to serve the chocolate vodka that I have in the bar. They are on sale now, too.Bloomingdale's
A super decadent dessert that is ooey, gooey, and fudgy. And how festive is that edible gold and silver leaf?

For those of you who would rather imbibe their dessert. This is right up my alley.
