I liked the peppermint blossom idea as well. I substituted 1/2 tsp peppermint extract for the crushed candies. I dropped balls of dough into a mini muffin pan, baked them for 8 minutes, and then pushed a Hershey candycane kiss (frozen so they don't melt so fast) into each one as soon as they came out of the oven. Really pretty and tasty, and something different since most of our other goodies are chocolate!

I made some slight variations - used maple syrup instead of honey and added a dash of nutmeg. I mixed this with the chopped apples, filled the squash, and dotted the tops with butter. I also added a handful of chopped pecans. I was running short on time, so I put them in Pyrex dishes with a little water in the bottom and microwaved for 5 minutes before baking. My family looked askance at them ("this looks weird") when I served them with dinner, but after just one bite, they gobbled it up and said it was wonderful!

I made it exactly as written. Everyone from kids to elderly adults thought it was fantastic, and it was a great way to use some very ripe peaches!
