Peppermint Buddies

I had this thought the other day when I was eating my 100th Peppermint Kiss. What if I made my favorite snack with peppermint crushed in it? I loved the white chocolate and peppermint together and since I am kind of obsessed with muddy buddies, I decided to make this. HOLY COW! These were so good! It was seriously like Christmas in my mouth and I couldn’t stop eating them! I think this became my favorite of all of the muddy buddy versions that I have made! So addictingly good!

Things that I changed: I kind of made this recipe up as I went along. I copied it from my funfetti muddy buddy recipe.

Things that I would do differently next time: I saw that they have chocolate mint peppermint candy canes! I want to try this with those!
