Have you ever indulged in a mint chocolate candy? Imagine being able to make your own! PEPPERMINT is great for the kitchen.

Remember that PEPPERMINT has an intense aroma and flavor. So start with just a few drops and adjust as needed.

You can add PEPPERMINT TO:

• Brownies (add 4–8 drops to batter)

• Hot Cocoa (add 1 drop per mug)

• Smoothies (add 3–5 drops)

• White Chocolate Fudge (add 6–8 drops)

• Hard Candy (add 10–15 drops)

• Homemade Peppermint Patties (add 10–15 drops)

• Chocolate Mint Ice Cream (add 6–8 drops)

• Peppermint Cookies (add 3–5 drops)

• Peppermint Coffee Creamer (3–5 drops in a homemade creamer recipe)

• Peppermint Bark Popcorn (see recipe below)

ALMOND BARK AND PEPPERMINT POPCORN RECIPE

• 18–20 c. popped Popcorn (about 2 bags or 1/2 c. of kernels)

• 1 6-ounce box of crushed Candy Canes

• 1 package Almond Bark

• 5 drops PEPPERMINT Essential Oil

Place popped popcorn in a very large bowl and pour crushed candy canes over popcorn. Melt the almond bark according to directions on package. Once melted, stir in the PEPPERMINT Essential Oil, then over the popcorn, and stir until popcorn is coated equally. Spread on wax paper to cool and allow to harden. Once it has hardened, break into pieces, then ENJOY!
