Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 cups powdered milk
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 cup cocoa
2 cups mint chocolate chips
4-5 candy canes OR 1/2 cup crushed candy cane
1/2 cup marshmallows optional

Steps:

If you want larger chunks of mint in your hot chocolate, break up a few candy canes by hand and place them in the food processor. I like big chunks that take a while to melt. If you don't, use crushed candy canes instead.
Place all the ingredients except the crushed candy canes into a food processor and grind until smooth. Have patience! It takes a while for the chocolate to chop up.
Once the powder is created, then you can add in the crushed candy canes; pulse them a couple of times to get them mixed in.
To use: Add the hot chocolate powder to taste in a cup of hot water. Since we use milk powder, you don't need to use milk.

HOT CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT COOKIES

Hot Chocolate Peppermint Cookies image

This is a variation of the cookies my mother made when I was growing up. Now my 13-year-old daughter and I bake them together. They're always a huge hit! The taste is like rich hot chocolate baked into a scrumptious cookie. -Larry Piklor, Johnsburg, Illinois
