Peppermint Chocolate Covered Marshmallows: Festive and easy Peppermint Chocolate Covered Marshmallows. Makes ordinary hot chocolate taste extraordinary!

Does anyone else do this?

Please tell me it’s not just me!

Every year we buy ~~12, 24~~, 48 candy canes to hang on our Christmas tree. However, what the heck should we do with them when Christmas is over?

I love peppermint as much as the next guy, but I’m not one to just sit there and munch a candy cane.

These Peppermint and Chocolate Covered Marshmallows are great for using up mini and large candy canes (or both!).

No special equipment is needed for this recipe. I crushed my candy canes using a rolling pin and a plastic baggie.
