'Win It' Wednesday: Sweet & Sara Snowflake

Sure, 2011 is fast approaching, but I can't help reminiscing about days gone by, thanks to these delectable vegan marshmallow snowflakes by Sweet & Sara, the prize for this week's "Win It" Wednesday contest:

I simply can't shake this thought progression:

Vegan marshmallows -> gooey vegan s'mores -> fireplace -> scary urban legends reflections about personal victories for animals

And considering that the "feels like" temperature is 19 degrees and my sweet tooth is crying out for chocolate-y relief, I'm not gonna try to fight it. So, as I char my umpteenth snowflake over the flames, I'd describe the time I came across a squealing mouse on a glue trap tossed in the trash and hurried to get him home. Once there, I gently freed him from the torturous device with some sunflower oil—and after a little R&R, bright-eyed Mr. Mouse went on his way.  

So, ante up your heartwarming tale of triumph for an animal who needed your help—the two tales that most make us feel all warm and gooey inside will score the treats.

The contest ends on December 22, and the winner will be chosen on December 24. Be sure to read our privacy policy and terms and conditions, as you're agreeing to both by commenting.
