Friday Foodie - Keeping Warm

We have had wonderful FALL weather this week! We got over an inch of rain on Wednesday ~ cause for rejoicing in my book. Then it was 46 degrees when I got up yesterday. I stayed off the trail so it could have a day to dry out, but I sure did enjoy running in those cool temps. I love when the seasons change. And if we don't have a single day of hot, dry Santa Ana winds that bring wildfires, my heart will be so thankful...

German Chocolate Cake flavored marshmallow bites??? They are amazing! Super soft, super chocolatey and coated in coconut! Just 4 of these little guys made my hot chocolate so yummy!
