Peppermint Creams the perfect gift for teachers

Instead of something shop-bought, why not make some peppermint creams as a gift for your favourite teachers? Or perhaps as a present for friends and family?

They are simple to make and taste divine. Plus, they only take a few minutes to make. We purchased some little boxes to package them up before giving them to the little lady’s teachers. We have also made them for Nannie and the kid’s mum.

Take a look at the recipe below and maybe give them a go.

This was part one of our homemade gifts and part two can be found here.
