The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,100 times in 2015. If it were a cable car, it would take about 35 trips to carry that many people.

Chocolate Peppermint Marshmallows

Posted in Food, Holiday by peppermintsandhoneybees

Happy Holidays everyone! I have two parts to this post. First of all I would like to announce that Ben and I are engaged! So actually we have been since the first of November but I was waiting to make it official until we told all of our family and friends in person. Also I didn’t have my ting yet, but anyway yes, this is my good news!
Now on to the absolute easiest Christmas treat recipe you’ll ever find. For these easy chocolate peppermint marshmallows you will need:

Dark chocolate or semi sweet chips
Crushed up peppermints or candy canes
Large marshmallows (I used my favorite vegan brand Dandies)

Just melt your chocolate chips in a double boiler or the microwave. (30 seconds at a time) Then dip half of each marshmallow in the melted chocolate. Next press the chocolate top down into a bowl of crushed mints and put on wax paper to dry. It’s that easy!
