Peppermint White Hot Chocolate Recipe
This recipe from Sugar & Cloth is the easiest thing you’ll whip up all winter long. It only takes 5 seconds of your attention, a slow cooker and you’re all set!
Ingredients:
6 cups of almond milk
2 cups of whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon of peppermint extract
Whipped cream (optional)
Champagne marshmallows for garnish
Combine the whipping cream, milk, vanilla, peppermint, and white chocolate chips in a slow cooker. On medium to low heat, let it set for 2.5 hours in the slow cooker, stirring it occasionally making sure all of the chips are melted.
Once finished, serve with whipped cream and a champagne marshmallow on top for the garnish, or you can cut the calories of the whipped cream and just add a marshmallow, it looks (and tastes!) great either way.

DIY Glitter Easter Eggs (no dye required)!
Grab yourself some eggs (real or artificial and dab away). I used real white and brown (hard boiled) eggs.
Instructions: Place some white glue (or Mod Podge) into a small bowl. If you want to create dots, dab the tip of your finger (or the eraser on the end of a pencil) into the glue, dot onto the egg, and cover with glitter, shaking off the excess. For gold and white, dip half of the egg into the glue mixture and blot excess drips. Sprinkle with glitter. And voila…you have beautiful and fun Easter eggs in less than an hour.
