There are several traditions surrounding this holiday so sit back, eat a crêpe and soak in a little more culture. La Chandeleur, known as Candlemas in America (don’t worry, I’ve never [...]]]> http://dhaleb.com/food-type/dessert/crepes/feed/ 31 http://dhaleb.com/food-type/dessert/chocolate-cookie-sandwiches-peppermint-creme/ http://dhaleb.com/food-type/dessert/chocolate-cookie-sandwiches-peppermint-creme/#comments Mon, 21 Dec 2009 15:50:48 +0000 Dhale @ Culinary Musings http://dhaleb.com/?p=760 If peppermints were animals, they would probably go into extinction due to all the peppermint consumption around the holidays. So it’s a good thing they’re not because I’ve been using an awful lot of them in my recipes lately.

I’m an equal opportunity dessert consumer. And although I’m not a huge fan of sugary sweet libations, I can certainly entertain one of these martinis in lieu of dessert.

So I present to you the third of my recent crumble obsession. I wanted one last chance to jump on the pumpkin bandwagon before the holidays were over. And this is such an easy recipe. Trust me.
