The only connection I can draw to brittle and Christmas is that toffee-y things remind me of Grandma’s, and I always see my Grandma on Christmas. The festive M&M’s come exclusively in green and red, so automatically the Christmas vibes are fully intact, even if peanut brittle isn’t a holiday profile I’m too accustomed to. ![]() After autumn’s (moderate) success of Cookies and Screeem M&M’s, winter is getting a boost with some much needed shine to the superior peanut line of the classic candy that melts (and freezes?) in your mouth and not in your hand. Picking up right where they left off, creating new seasonal candies based on cute puns rather than flavor and holiday history, Mars have given birth to Peanut Brrr-ittle M&M’s. Apparently inspired by faux-camping and uber decadent hiking snacks, Glampfire Trail Mix combines chocolate ice cream with crunchy pretzel swirls, marshmallow swirls, and fudge-covered almonds. Speaking of marshmallows, and similarly to my lack of knowledge about glamping, I had no clue Target was getting a new exclusive flavor from Ben & Jerry’s, and was stopped in my tracks when doing my daily perusing of the frozen aisle at my favorite red-clad establishment. It truly is the hypothetical best of both world’s, where you can go on a long mind-clearing hike and take a poop into something that flushes before roasting some marshmallows over an easy-to-ignite outdoor fire pit. Glamping is short for “glamour camping” and is the hybrid of the lovely outdoor freshness of traditional camping and more posh resort-style hotel amenities of regular vacationing. I cannot tell you enough times how much people love to receive homemade Christmas cookies.Until today I had no idea what “glamping” was, and there’s a decent chance you don’t either, so I’ll get ya up to speed. If you’re feeling extra festive, make a double batch and share these with your friends and neighbours. Once you thaw them, they will taste just as fresh, and be just as soft, as the day you first baked them. They will come out of the freezer looking just like they did when you put them in there. You can freeze these cookies for up to three months. The goal is to keep all of that cookie freshness locked in! (I use thesequite often when freezing baked goods.) I like to place a sheet of plastic wrap over the top of the container before pushing the lid on. You’ll want to ensure a very tight fitting lid too. But, if you plan to freeze these cookies, use a food-safe container that can be frozen. These cookies will stay fresh for about 3-5 days in a covered container and in a cool place.

That’s why I have two more Christmas-themed collections you might want to consider. In some cases, we want more than a cookie. To do so, simply omit the cocoa powder and bake as per the instructions. ![]() One last variation is to leave this cookie as a regular hot chocolate cookie and not a double chocolate cookie. Why not try substituting the vanilla extract with peppermint extract? Then, just before baking, add a sprinkling of crushed candy canes on top along with the marshmallow bits and chocolate chips! Secondly, you can make this cookie a little more Christmasy should you wish to do so.
