Author Angie Holden

What You Will Need

  • Hot cocoa mix
  • Peppermint candy canes
  • Mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • Follow the package instructions to make hot cocoa.
  • Pile mini marshmallows on top!
  • Unwrap a candy cane for each mug and place it in the cocoa. Let sit for 3-5 minutes.

Notes

Tip: I made the hot cocoa and then let it cool so it was a cool, refreshingly chocolate drink with a bit of yummy peppermint. The marshmallows won’t melt in the cooler liquid temps, so this is a perfect option for make-ahead party drinks.
