The perfect drink to sip while trimming the tree is Candy Cane Cocoa. The rich chocolate blending with peppermint is reminiscent of the After 8 chocolates people used to gift for Christmas. It actually seems like cocoa with a small touch of holiday cheer.
For this recipe, you crush the candy canes in order to create a type of peppermint dust. Add this to hot milk and maybe even add some chocolate chips to make your cocoa even more chocolatey! Soon enough you’ll be drinking a hot beverage that would make Mr. Claus himself proud. Sitting around your fireplace, decorating the tree and drinking Candy Cane Cocoa will be the highlight of your Texas holidays.
