Thank you for sharing this great hot chocolate. It was quick and easy to make, with excellent results. I will make this again and again. I did garnish with whipped cream and a cherry as I used up all my candy canes. Thanks for being such a great PAC baby. :)

I think this is worth the full 5 stars. It's super simple to make, will keep very well and most importantly is just delicious! It may be Aug now but the temp today is only 12c and this is a real treat. I used 1/4 cup of mix in a latte mug. Thanks Calee :D

I love the peppermint flavor the candy canes give this hot chocolate.It makes more servings than listed. I think next time I might increase the coco ratio to skim milk/coffee creamer.I added mini marshallows to my cup and this would definately make a nice gift. Thank you calee.
