Make sure you serve up your Santa Bagels with my epic Chocolate Peppermint Tea Lattes (caffeine free).  It’s like a minty hot cocoa, piled high with whipped cream. See what I mean? Pairs perfectly with a bagel breakfast!

    What vegan, gluten-free marshmallows do you use?

    • Cara

      Dandies are always a great choice! Also, if you have a Trader Joe’s nearby, they have vegan marshmallows now 🙂

        Thank you! I have a hard time finding Dandies. I was not aware that TJs has vegan marshmallows. Woo hoo! I see Rice Krispies treats in my future.

        Happy holidays!

          They do, isn’t that great? They are really coming out with more and more great products daily. Good luck finding them. I see Santa Bagels in your future 😉

    Very sweet and cute. Wish I had a little one to do this for!
    Now how about a dreidl on that bagel? A dreidl bagl.
    Can’t imagine how you would do that…
    Or maybe a menorah would be easier.

      June, I’ve been making these creations for ME this whole time, HA. No need for a little one…I won’t tell anyone 😉 Also, I do have some fun Hanukkah treats: Star of David chocolate-covered pretzels, Driedel PB&Js, Peppermint Patty Gelt, and Hanukkah Puppy Chow! I need to make some more this year, thank you for the reminder <3
