"A sprinkling of crushed candy cane lends a festive touch to this creamy hot cocoa...or place a chocolate mint candy cane in each mug as a stirrer," 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.
