I have a feeling I am going to go into diabetic shock before the 25th. There is candy ALL OVER the place at my work. As if that weren't enough, people are bringing in homemade candy and cookies to pass out. I hope Jenny Craig has group rates cause we are going to need it.

So to retaliate and not add to the madness, I decided to not make holiday candy to give to my co-workers, but instead a mix CD of holiday tunes. I snagged a few of them from Womenfolk. Check out what's available. There's some cool stuff there.

Holiday Mix 2005

The Christmas Waltz - Peggy Lee
Christmas Time Is Here - Shawn Colvin
Blue Christmas - Bright Eyes

Christmas Song - Stevie Wonder & India.Aire
Baby, It's Cold Outside - Zooey Deschanel & Leon Redbone
I'm Gonna Lasso Santa Claus - Brenda Lee
Merry Christmas from the Family - Jill Sobule
What a Wonderful World - Russ Taft

But then I had a change of heart and decided to add to the madness and made candy anyway.

Peppermint Bark

2 16 ounce packages white chocolate chips
3 cups puffed rice cereal
1 7.5 ounce package hard peppermint candies, unwrapped

Spray a 10x15 inch rimmed (tee hee) baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray; line with waxed paper.

Double bag and then crush the shit out of your candies. I used a wrench because I'm just a butch stud like that.

Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Stir in the cereal and spread to the edges of the pan.

Sprinkle the crushed candy and cover with another piece of waxed paper. Press and then chill in the fridge.

Break apart and enjoy the minty deliciousness.

Happy Holidays Everyone!
