Skinny Peppermint Mocha

December 15, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 14 Comments

“This is my first posting for the Holiday Recipe Club.  For this round all participants were required to use Peppermint, Gingerbread or Eggnog.”
Hello Everyone!
Remember when I told you I had a special cookie I was making that takes after one of my favorite holiday drinks?  My favorite holiday drink is….  Skinny Peppermint Mocha!  Thanks Starbucks for always having some kind of delectable drink or treats for the season.   I can’t wait to see what they have in store for Valentines!  🙂
I just love meringue cookies and this  one is a little different, it is made with peppermint extract and then dipped in chocolate coffee and peppermint pieces.  There light and airy and the chocolate really adds a special touch that takes these plain little guys to a whole another world!
I even made one shaped like a star for fun!  All I did was place the meringue in a freezer bad, cut off the corner and added a pastry tip, but you don’t need the tip to shape your meringue.  Sorry for the bad pics, they were hard for me to photograph, the lighting wasn’t very nice to me!  I tried inside and outside, no luck!
Skinny Peppermint Mocha Meringue
Ingredients:
2 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
1/2 Cup Semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
4 tsp/1packet of instant coffee or espresso
1/4 cup candy canes – broken into tiny piece
Directions:
Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.  In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar to soft peaks.
Gradually add sugar, and peppermint extract continuing to beat until whites form stiff peaks.
Drop by spoonfuls 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.Bake for 1 1/2 hours in preheated oven. Meringues should be completely dry on the inside. Do not allow them to brown. Turn off oven. Keep oven door ajar, and let meringues sit in the oven until completely cool.

In a shallow microwave safe bowl add chocolate and coffee and microwave for 20 second intervals, stirring the chocolate, cook until melted (about 40 seconds).

Add candy cane pieces to a shallow bowl. Dip cookies in chocolate then dip into candy cane pieces and place back on parchment paper. Repeat with all cookies. Let the chocolate set.

Store loosely covered in cool dry place.

Serving Size: 25 Cookies


Calories per cookie with Chocolate and Candy Cane pieces:  40,  Fat:  1.3,  Sodium:  10,  Potassium:  10,  Carbs:  7, Sugar:  7.9,  Protein:  .04
I want to give Erin from Big Fat Baker a BIG special “thank you” for dealing with me!  This was my first blog hop I was apart of!
I hope you enjoyed my Skinny Peppermint Mocha Meringue Cookie!  Just think 3 of them is less then a Starbucks Grande!  🙂
Have a Wonderful Day!

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.
🌸
The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week and you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer?

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
