         (The 11th moon of the year began it's cycle on January 02, 2014-Roman calendar date)

ZEC 1:7 - On the twenty fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of YHWH came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying:

Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips-Rimmed Hot Cocoa

            *****

First start by crushing peppermint candy.  Now I am sure candy canes would work, but candy canes aren’t my thing.  I wanted a soft peppermint candy that would melt quickly.
I tried both soft dinner mint peppermints and ‘Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips‘ both incredible. The soft peppermint candies can be found at the dollar store, or just about any grocery store this time of year.  Make sure to chop them extra fine.  My little hands got tired of chopping so I stuck them in a food processor.

Simply dip the rim of your mug in melted chocolate…
and follow immediately by dipping your chocolate rimmed mug in peppermint goodness... Let chocolate cool for appx 5 min. {These could be prepared in advance for guests}.

Fill with your favorite hot cocoa and get ready to FALL. IN. LOVE. Let me try to explain,… When you sip the hot cocoa, it immediately melts the chocolate rimmed edge, while melting the peppermint candy, creating the perfect texture of chocolaty gooey peppermint goodness.  Okay, words don’t do it justice.  Just try it.  Trust me.


The ‘Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips‘ I found at my local grocery store.  I admit, they aren’t quite as pretty, but the peppermint baking chips have a heavenly creamy base.  Definitely worth trying too. I honestly can’t pick a favorite.  You’ll have to vote after you try them:

The Soft Peppermint Candy Rimmed….
OR the ‘Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips‘ Rimmed… Either way, you can’t go wrong.

                      Good Hours
I had for my evening walk---
No one at all with whom to talk,
But I had the cottages in a row
Up to their shining eyes in snow.

And I thought I had the folk within:
I had the sound of a violin;
I had a glimpse through curtain laces
Of youthful forms and youthful faces.

I had such company outward bound.
I went till there were no cottages found.
I turned and repented, but coming back
I saw no window but that was black.

Over the snow my creaking feet
Disturbed the slumbering village street
Like profanation, by your leave,
At ten o'clock of a winter eve.
