taste the sensation

Did you know the the very first version of the York Peppermint Pattie was not soft in the center? It wasn't! Who knew? The original version was produced in York, Pennsylvania by the York Cone Company, starting in 1940. That pattie was firm and crisp in the center. It was what separated it from it's competitors, which were all soft in the center. Just a little candy trivia for you. 

Peppermint Patties have always made me think of Christmas. Maybe it's because they are minty, like a candy cane. I decided to dress the miniatures up for Christmas, and package them in green and red. 

So that the patrons of the RCS PTO Holiday Bazaar would know that they were the real deal, and not some icky imitation, I left their back sides naked so the label could be seen. There's nothing like a chocolatey, minty snack in the middle of a hectic, holiday shopping day to pick you up!

Happy stamping!
