A Little Kringling... Candy Cane Cocoa


Candy Cane Cocoa 
is one of family's favorite winter drinks. 


I always make a big batch in December and hope that it will last.
~smile~


 It's just as good in January or February as at Christmastime. I've had the recipe for at least twenty years maybe longer. Thank you to whoever gave it to me! We've enjoyed it. ~smile~




It makes a great gift in a pretty little jar with a cute tag, too.



Candy Cane Cocoa
A Harvest Lane Cottage Classic Recipe

3 candy canes, crushed
1 c. powdered creamer
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/4 cup Hershey's cocoa powder

 Mix and store in an airtight container.
I now use a food processer to crush the candycanes and combine the ingredients.

Add 1/2 cup of mix to 12 ounces of boiling water.
It's even better with hot milk!

It is also a great coffee creamer. 



A happy Christmas to you from Harvest Lane Cottage!
Laura

  1. My boys and I love anything flavored with peppermint and chocolate! I normally just buy the coffee creamer flavor and put that in our cocoa, tea or coffee. But, I think I would rather make this! Thanks so much for sharing!!
    Yum!
    Enjoy your day Laura!
    Hugs, Amy

  23. 1/2 cup of the mix for 1 cup of cocoa? That seems like a LOT! Just want to clarify as it sounds yummy!
