Yesterday I took I brief break from holiday treats and goodies and brought you an amazeballs gluten free fiesta flatbread. Today however it’s all about the peppermint. Peppermint and Christmas go hand in hand. Candy canes, pies and even peppermint ice cream all abound this time of year and I can’t get enough.
Today’s recipe was actually inspired by a trip to Big Lots. I was there stocking up on some Christmas decorations and wrapping paper (can’t beat their price!) and I noticed that they had an extensive food section with all you could ask for when it comes to Christmas baking. They even had a complete gluten free baking section with all my favorite gluten free flours with the best prices I’ve seen in my town. I was bowled over. I had no idea that you could get all that at Big Lots.
In addition to the food I also treated myself to come festive mixing bowls and measuring cups, because they were just too fun to pass up. (Styles and assortment vary by store.)
I came home giddy from my new discovery and treated my family to these blissful Gluten Free Mini No Bake Peppermint Pies. Aren’t they pretty?
Almost too pretty to eat. Almost……… Honestly, we gobbled them up like starving pigs.
Ready to see what all the fuss is about??
