Peppermint Cocoa Dippers

Need a homemade holiday gift, or a treat for your hot chocolate? Try this easy to make Marshmallow Peppermint Cocoa Dippers Recipe

I am a sucker for the holidays! Maybe it is because it is the one time of year that is filled with kindness, giving, gratitude, and a good will toward others that no other time of year can compare to.   The joy on the kids faces to see the light, ornaments, and gifts. The our joy that it brings to others. I don’t know….call me sentimental, but I love all of it.

My thrill for all things holiday has kicked in early this year. Maybe I am trying to be pro-active, but I find my self buying peppermints, and getting holiday projects done left and right. Their was a little chill in the air the other night and the kids asked for some hot cocoa.  Who am I to say no to a nice big mug of hot chocolate?!
