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!

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

Happy Thursday! Let me tell you if @downlitebeddin Happy Thursday! Let me tell you if @downlitebedding is looking for a spokes dog, Samuel wants the job! I kid you not, he is obsessed with everything Downlite Bedding! He even has his own comforter that he sleeps on every night! 
🐾
I received some new pillows from Downlite Bedding called the Primaloft Renew Pillow which is perfect for back and side sleepers. They are so soft to touch, slightly firm, machine washable. As you can see Samuel loves them. It put him right to sleep. 
🐾
Downlite Bedding gave my followers a 20% discount code: DYGEN20. Now to try to get my pillow back from Samuel.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
