How many times have you scrolled on various social media sites around the holidays and come across decadent baked goods? From cookies to cakes to chocolate bark, it can feel intimidating to try your hand at creating Pinterest-worthy bites. Duncan Hines is making the process easier with its EPIC dessert kits, which were unveiled at the start of this year, and keeping that going through Christmas with a new season variety.

Duncan Hines’ new EPIC Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Kit will have your friends and family believing that you could have your own show on the Food Network. Just like the seasonal flavor for fall, this one rings true to the time of year. The kit includes chocolate cookie mix, crème frosting, and red and white peppermint-flavored candy cane-shaped sprinkles. It doesn’t get much cuter than this.

The directions break the dessert down into four sections: Prep, shape, bake, and fill. You’ll combine the cookie mix with melted butter, an egg, and water; shape the dough into balls, top with sprinkles, and place on a baking sheet; bake for 11 to 15 minutes, depending on the size; and once they cool, spread the frosting on the flat side of a cookie and top with another. See? Not as difficult as the final product makes them out to be!

You don’t have to wait to embrace the holiday spirit and flavors of the season, because the Duncan Hines EPIC Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Kit is rolling out in your local baking aisle now. Each kit is $4.99 and is expected to be available for a limited time. We can only hope that the brand keeps these festive kits coming for holidays to come!
