This one is for you, Marie
Marie is on the lead horse, out on an Osceola ride a few years ago. Actually, she goes every year on this planned ride of several days through the the heart of Florida. She is out right now on this year's ride with her mare, Tellaco. She is a natural born horse woman and knows just about everyone in the world, well, at least the horse world. Marie feels the same way we do, life is just better on the back of a horse, out enjoying what God and nature gave us. Speaking of enjoy, if I had to associate the word enjoy with the word Marie, hands down, first thought would be horse, second would be marshmallow. She is the only person I know that will eat Fluff right out of the jar. Naturally, when I came across this recipe, I thought of Marie. Enjoy your ride, enjoy your marshmallow. Life is short, Life is good! Happy Trails to you.

2 2/3 cups chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
