This is truly a recipe come home to roost as it is the perfect expression of the winter we are experiencing here in Minnesota. With two huge snowstorms and a third on its way, this is the snowiest winter in the past 20 years. The snow pile is already two to three feet high and it is not going anywhere with the freezing temperatures. No doubts about it, we will be having a white Christmas.

These pretty White Christmas Cups with flecks of red and green are not only light and tasty but also gluten-free. I made these as a holiday treat for the boys to share at school. They are easy to prepare and the only cooking involved is the melting of butter and white chocolate. Even kids can prepare this with a little bit of supervision. I will be making a smaller version for our Christmas gathering next week. The ones shown here are regular sized ones for teenage girls and boys. 🙂

This recipe was adapted from the Australian Women’s Weekly’s Big Book of Beautiful Biscuits. The original recipe called for red and green glazed cherries but I wanted something minty in the mix. Nestlē’s limited edition dark chocolate and mint morsels provided the perfect substitute for a minty flavor. I separated the mint chips from the chocolate chips and was able to get at least half a cup of the minty morsels. Crushed red and green candy canes would also work.

    Sounds extremely cold over the other side of the globe! Guess you guys have to stuck in the house for quite a while. And those white goodies look perfect for the coming festive season. Oh, love the mint flavour chocolate chips. I found some butterscotch chips (same brand) on my last trip but don’t see any mint flavour ones. Hope you’re all well and enjoy your day.

    We have had way more snow, way earlier than normal here in Ireland – and there was I thinking we might get a few decent summers from Global warming!!!

    This looks so Christmasey! I’m having trouble this year, getting into the Christmas mood 🙁 Everything is a mess, and there’s still half unpacked luggage around the apartment. I need to get a new tree and decorations and haven’t even figured out my Christmas menu *sigh*

    I actually like looking at all your snowy pictures and these treats even remind me of snow 🙂

      That’s ok Denise, you still have time. You are probably still jet lagged and that’s hard. Give yourself a few more days and you should be up and about. 🙂

      Yes, there is much snow outside and so I’ve decided to bring some indoors. 😉 Glad to hear you enjoyed the snow pictures.

    Hi Biren. These look fabulous, something my two young kids can make. We shall definitely attempt to make these at the weekend, I have a strange feeling that they would not make it to the fridge for the setting part, as my kids are brilliant at “tasting-them-first-to-make-sure-they-are-okay”. Happy Christmas to you and the family, Biren.

      These would be perfect to make with your kids. You don’t really have to put them in the fridge in this cold weather. They really taste good and I wcan’t blame your kids if they want to go right at it. 🙂

      You have a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    Please post more pictures of the snow!

    Looks great – my husband needs to eat wheat/gluten free. Please note that kellogg’s rice krispies are NOT gluten free, but most healthfood stores in the US sell g/f crisped rice cereal.

    BTW, Chex cereals (with the exception of Wheat) are now gluten free!

      Hi Aletta! Thanks for visiting and commenting 🙂 Thanks also for pointing out that Kellogg’s Rice Krispies are not gluten free. I know it contains barley malt and so technically they are not gluten free. I normally use rice krispies or should I say rice cereals from the health food store but I do not store them in the pantry now as my boys are older and do not care too much for them. I only buy them for making treats.

    This recipe sounds good, but I am not much of a fan of mint in my desserts. I plan to try it, using brown rice cereal and green colored candied pineapple in place of the green chips for a fruity flavor. I will let you know how it turns out when I make it in a few weeks. You could also use chopped dates to replace the mint chips, when it’s not the holidays. I plan to make them for Christmas, but always do a test run on new recipes one week before the holiday, and share a plate of my testers with several of my friends along with the recipes. I’m glad I found your blog. I look forward to trying some of your other recipes. Thanks…and have a Happy Holiday!

      Any dried fruits would work for this recipe. I think they will be very pretty with dried cranberries and golden raisins for a jeweled effect. Do let me know how yours turned out.

      Happy Holidays to you as well! 🙂
