Chocolate and Peppermint Crusted Marshmallows (buy or DIY!)

Here's an elegant food stocking stuffer that's so simple even I could do it myself! These marshmallows-on-a-stick are coated in chocolate and then dipped in crushed peppermint, making them perfect to swirl in a cup of hot chocolate.

And even if you're not handy in the kitchen, the price of these isn't too outrageous when you consider that you have four individually wrapped marshmallow pops to a pack. Stick one out of the top of each Christmas stocking, and you have a pretty stocking stuffer for about $2.

But really, I suspect most of you are handy enough in the kitchen to try this! And the possibilities are endless. Don't like peppermint? Try something else, like crushed toffee or chocolate sprinkles.

What: Chocolate and Peppermint Crusted Marshmallow
Where: Crate and Barrel or do-it-yourself!
