12 Peppermint Flavored Taffies

On the 12th day of December my true loves gave to me 12 peppermint flavored taffies.

I bought a bag of some festive green, red, white and very tasty taffies for the purpose of decorating the inside of a transparent glass jar. Whoever came up with the idea that candy could be placed out in the open and be expected to stay there in a purely ornamental state obviously didn't have a fully functioning sweet tooth or 3 little boys with over active sweet teeth. As a result the jar is 1/2 empty (not in the mood to be an optimist today) and my kids have the freshest breath ever!
