You need more dessert in your life.
I decided at the last minute to make these.
Most of the time I plan out my recipes and have all the ingredients on hand. Okay, there was that one time I didn’t have what I needed.
This time I needed to head to the store to get some peppermint extract so after the boys were done with wrestling yesterday I dropped them off at home with Mr. I was definitely not passing up this chance to shop alone.
Apparently not. Dang. And everyone else in a 20 mile radius wanted the same thing. They got there first. Dang.
Next time I’ll be more prepared. Maybe.
I prepared the filling with vanilla extract since I had no choice. They were still irresistible.
