Ahhh peanut butter. There is really nothing quite like it, is there? March 1st was actually National Peanut Butter Lover's Day and this year, I decided to go big! To celebrate this delicious little holiday I decided I would invent my very own, oh-so-delicious, peanut buttery treat. This yummy candy is full of peanut butter, marshmallows and coconut, all nicely packaged in a delicious white chocolate shell. The name of this candy seemed obvious as when I looked at the mounds of white chocolatey goodness that lined my baking sheet, I couldn't help but picture the beautiful snow-covered Rocky Mountains!
