the gift of sweets

This year I decided to give the gift of sweets.  There was another cookie I wanted to make which needed peppermint chips but when I went to the store I couldn't find any.  I asked someone for help and they informed me that peppermint chips were seasonal and that the season was over.  This is crazy considering it isn't even Christmas yet.  These M&M cookie squares did the trick though and while I was making them I realized the ingredients and directions were the same as the nestle cookies I love to make.  Simple as that!
