Peppermint Chocolate Ganache Glazed Dark Chocolate Bundtlettes

October 18, 2013 By Laura 5 Comments

I know, more dessert. I usually try to intersperse more savory meals inbetween the baked goods, but I had a really good reason for this. Actually 4 really good reasons. First, I made 2 of my kids’ favorite meals the past week. Favorite meals usually means dishes that have been on this site before.
