  • Stir everything together, then add to the food processor in batches and grind until the mixture is a fine powder consistency.
  • Add to mason jars and gift away!
  • To make the cocoa, add two heaping tablespoons cocoa mix to one cup (8 ounces) warm milk and add a candy cane stir stick.

CANDY-CANE HOT COCOA



Candy-Cane Hot Cocoa image

Dress your hot cocoa up in something festive, like candy canes perhaps! Heat a pan of milk with chopped white chocolate and a bit of peppermint extract. Whisk it until it's thick and frothy, then top with a dollop of whipped cream and a candy-cane garnish-we hear that's customary at the North Pole.

Categories     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

32 ounces whole milk or oat milk
6 ounces white chocolate, chopped (1/4 cup)
Pinch of kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Unsweetened whipped cream and candy canes or peppermint sticks, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat milk and white chocolate in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until very hot, thick, and frothy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; whisk in peppermint extract. Transfer to cups or mugs, dollop with whipped cream, and serve with candy canes (the candy serves as a stirring stick and also slowly dissolves into the hot cocoa, adding more peppermint flavor as you sip and repeat).

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality drinking chocolate or cocoa powder for the best flavor.
  • Add a candy cane or two to the jar for a festive touch.
  • Include a handwritten note or gift tag with instructions on how to make the hot cocoa.
  • Use a festive jar or container to package the hot cocoa mix.
  • Seal the jar tightly to keep the cocoa mix fresh.
  • Store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Conclusion:

Candy cane hot cocoa in a jar is a delicious and easy-to-make gift that is perfect for the holiday season. It is a thoughtful and inexpensive gift that is sure to be appreciated by friends and family. With a little creativity, you can customize the jar to make it unique and special.
