Day 4.344: The Candy-cane Destroyer

E5N1 finished school in the middle of last week, but the girls are still in until the end of this week. So, Exile #2 and E5N1 had the day together today - it sounds like they had fun.

They managed to fit in a successful trip to the supermarket and some football (soccer) and baseball but the activity that really caught my ear was the making of these cookies.

They are based on this recipe for Chocolate Peppermint Bark given a gluten-free twist with the help of Gluten-Free Girl and The Chef.  Exile #2 made the shortbread and the dark chocolate layer, but it was E5N1 who drizzled the white chocolate and crushed and sprinkled the candy-canes.  Somehow it's not hard to imagine the enthusiasm he had for those activities.

Having sampled them at dinner time, I can report their efforts were definitely successful (in both form and function)!
