These mint chocolate shortbread fingers are my go to treat when I want something that tastes fancy but comes together in under an hour. The beauty of shortbread is how simple it really is, just butter, sugar, and flour, which means you probably have everything in your pantry already. I love adding that peppermint extract and cocoa powder to make them feel special, and the white chocolate drizzle with crushed candy on top just makes them irresistible. Plus, dark cocoa powder is packed with antioxidants, so you can feel a little less guilty enjoying these delicious fingers. They're perfect for gift giving or just keeping a batch around for when you need a little pick me up.
