Yeah, I like that sort of thing. Before cow's milk was a problem in my house I used to take artichoke dip, because at least at a potluck I could be sure I wouldn't accidently eat the whole thing myself -- cause it's popular. :-)

I can't see the recipe as I type, so maybe I just missed it, does it specify large or small peppermint patties? My pharmacy sells some mini ones, that may or may not be York, but are pretty good, and I can imagine decorating with them, still wrapped, unbaked, somehow.
