Low-Fat Peppermint Treats + The Best Tip for Decorating with Melted Chocolate

If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I have been using the app called My Fitness Pal on my iPhone to keep track of my calories and exercise. You also may know that I love Starbucks, but you may not know that I love peppermint. 

Needless to say, I don't like entering Starbucks Peppermint Mocha drinks into the MyFitnessPal app, but I just learned that they have a SKINNY Peppermint Mocha! Yay!

I really wanted a sweet treat to have over the holidays, but not one that would bust my diet completely. 

I was really glad to find Dark Chocolate Peppermint Truffles by Amy over at her blog, Foods for the Soul. 

They look incredibly yummy, and the best part is that there are only 4 ingredients in them! Thank you, Amy - I can't wait to try them!

As I was looking for low-fat peppermint treats, I stumbled on the.best.tip.ever.

I wish I had known about it when Hubs and I decorated all of the Christmas treats for our daughters' teachers. We used the "shake it off the spoon" technique.... I think this method would have been a lot less messy! :)

Melissa used this technique for her Holiday Peppermint Oreo Balls, a treat I think I would love but MyFitnessPal would hate. 

Do you have any low-fat peppermint recipes to share with me?
