âA sprinkling of crushed candy cane lends a festive touch to this creamy hot cocoaâ¦or place a chocolate mint candy cane in each mug as a stirrer,â suggests Lori Daniels of Beverly, West Virginia. TIP: Serve this heartwarming beverage with Christmas cookies to welcome friends in from the cold after skating, sledding or caroling. Ingredients:
4 cups milk |
2/3 cup instant chocolate drink mix |
5 chocolate mint candy canes, crushed |
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the milk and drink mix. Cook and stir over medium heat until heated through. Remove from the heat. Set aside 1 tablespoon crushed candy canes for garnish. Stir remaining candy canes into cocoa; keep warm.
2. In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form. Ladle cocoa into mugs. Top with whipped cream; sprinkle with reserved crushed candy canes. Yield: 4 servings.
