Proof Positive That My Stonewashed Jeans Are Legit

This was a first for me: while putting on a new pair of stonewashed jeans (KUT From The Kloth brand) I actually found a stone in one of the pockets.

Peppermint Bark Oreos -- Let the holiday cookie season begin!

I'll cut to the chase on this one: peppermint bark is typically a combo of dark chocolate, white chocolate, and crush candy canes, so I would think it's darn near impossible to screw up a Peppermint Bark Oreo cookie.

I was right.  These are delicious!

The chocolate sandwich cookie somewhat overwhelms the creme filling, but the scent and flavor of peppermint is wonderful. It's difficult to discern the peppermint sugar crystals that are embedded in the creme when you're eating the cookie as a whole, so make sure you do the "Oreo twist" and taste the filling on its own if you want to experience that satisfying candy-cane crunch. 

If you're looking to get a jump on your holiday spirit, Peppermint Bark Oreos are a great place to start.
