Candy Cane Hot Cocoa

Hi Live Laugh Rowe readers! Kimberly from A Night Owl here, and I’m so happy to be here sharing a fun and festive recipe with you today! I absolutely adore Kelly and always have, so I jumped at the chance to chat with you here on her amazing blog. Kelly is a kindred spirit, we both love to create and craft!

Now I have ALL sorts of plans for these tasty little gems. Yes, besdies just unwrapping and popping them into my mouth. And first up, I knew they would make some delicious hot cocoa! So I unwrapped and chopped up about half a bag, added them to some milk on the stovetop and slowly melted that chocolate goodness…
