Mint Dainties
Mint dainties are the perfect last minute treat if you are in a hurry and do not have the time to bake something up. Take some Vanilla wafers and add some frosting and some melted mint chips on top. Even better, you can add some more chocolate on top. I think it makes the mint dainties look amazing. You can either use a mini wafer or a regular size. I used the mini, because I love the small, pop-in-your mouth size. Also if you want to make them a little greener for St Patrick’s Day, you can add some green food coloring to the frosting. I like it without so that the green chocolate shows up better.
So the other day, my son, his wife and his 1 1/2 year old went to the store. On the way home my grandson kept saying, “dad, dad, dad.” My cute daughter-in-law said to him “hey baby, why don’t you say mom”? He said “mom, dad, dad, dad”. Then again she said, “what can mom help you with, say mom”, and he said, “mom, want dad”. He is a funny little kid, and then he continued to say “dad”!!:) These little kids are so funny; they know what they want and you do not change their mind. And he is with his mom most of the time and he is truly a mommy’s boy. When he is at grandma’s house he says “mom”!
