In continuing with our peppermint theme today, here’s a super cute – and FAST – little holiday treat that you can whip up in no time. And not to worry – they’re also super YUMMY! (Yes, we definitely taste-tested these little guys!)
You’ll Need:
• Pepperidge Farm Mint Milano Cookies
• Red Candy Melts (available at Michaels)
• Round Peppermint Candies (or candy canes), crushed
1. Melt the Candy Melts in a microwave according to package directions. (Takes about 1-3 mins, depending on quantity).
2. Dip Milano Cookies into melted candy mixture, covering about 1/2 of the cookie.
3. Sprinkle both sides of the cookie with crushed candy canes, and let dry for 10-15 minutes. DONE!
And there you have it…super quick & easy, but still festive and cute for the holidays.
From this side angle they actually look little slippers, which makes me think there could be a good variation of these to be dreamed up for spa-themed bridal showers!

Stay tuned for another candy cane inspired recipe tutorial coming later today!
What an adorable quickie concoction!
fabulous idea! simple, and so cute!
This is such an easy to make cookie treat. I am going to make them for teacher’s gifts for christmas next year for sure.
thanks for this idea! I’m gong to make some except with white chocolate
It’s a random question, but where did you get the bowls you put the melts in? I’ve been needing something like those!
This is adorable! I’m not one for peppermint, but I’d love to try this using sprinkles instead! Thanks so much!
Such a sweet idea,girl you think of everything~
Hi Brittanie –
The small white bowls are actually from IKEA :)
Thank you so much for the idea! I made three bags of these last night with a friend. We used dark and white chocolate as that is what we had on hand. For toppings we used coconut, perils, nuts and crushed candy canes!
Those are too cute! Have a very Merry Christmas! Cheers to a grand New Year!!
What a great idea and so easy! It’s going into my file for next year.
I love this! It can be used for several other color schemes as well. Another super easy treat. Thanks for the inspiration.

I just saw these and I am going to make them for my Sugar and Spice cookie buffet for sister in laws baby shower. Cute…cute!!!
