I found the Wilton Peppermint flavored spoons at Michael’s. *So cute!!* I used a 50% off coupon and got a package of six for $3. I love it when I get a good bargain, especially on Wilton products.
For you chocolate lovers try my Oreo Cookie Hot Chocolate.
I just have to share this photo with you for all you cat lovers.
