So the other day, I woke up to realize that over 10k of you fabulous people were following me on Instagram! Ahhh…never in a million years would I have thought that many of you would follow along on my daily adventures!

So to celebrate, I am hosting a big giveaway and asked you all what your favorite Christmas food was.  Anything peppermint and chocolate was the response I saw the most, and well, you are in luck because all things peppermint and chocolate related is my favorite flavor!

I am leaving you all with a fun Christmas-time dessert and a great one to share with the kiddos, too (also, the recipe is nut and dairy free so that everyone can enjoy it)!
