This quick and easy peppermint bark recipe only requires 5 ingredients!

- 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate

-2 teaspoons canola oil

-1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

-8 ounces white chocolate

-25 crushed peppermint candies

Line a 9x9 inch pan with waxed paper and set aside

Put a double boiler over barely simmering water and place the semisweet chocolate and one teaspoon of canola oil in the top of it. Stir frequently and scrape down the sides with a spatula. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract when the chocolate is melted. Pour the melted chocolate into the prepared pan, and spread evenly on the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle half of the crushed peppermints over the crushed layer. Refrigerate for one hour.

Place the white chocolate over a double boiler over barely simmering water, stirring frequently like before. Stir in the remaining extract when the peppermint is melted.

Mini Strawberry Santas

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/235722/mini-stra...

These little Strawberry are adorable AND easy to make!

-1 pint fresh strawberries

-1 cup heavy whipping cream

-1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar

-1 tablespoon chocolate sprinkles

Cut the strawberries so they can stand on a plate. Slice the tip off of each strawberry to make a little "hat", and set aside.

Beat cream and confectioner's sugar in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift beaker or whisk straight up and the whipped cream will form in soft mounds.

Spoon a large amount of whipped cream on top of a strawberry base for the face and beard. Set the hat on top of the face. Using a toothpick, add a dot of whipped cream on top of the hat to create a pom-pom, and two dots on the base to make buttons. Place two sprinkles for eyes.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
