Peppermint Hot Cocoa

I'm making Bailey's Hot Chocolate for my husband and me for Valentine's Day.  Though it's definitely better than Hot Cocoa.  My son mentioned to me that he's run out of it, so it's time to make some more.

Peppermint Hot Cocoa

3/4 cup Raw Sugar
1/2 tsp Pink Salt
5 Candy Canes, broken up



Start with a clean canister.  Add the milk, cocoa, sugar, and salt and mix.  Place candy canes in a pint-sized freezer bag and smash them with a rolling pin.  This is an awesome way to relieve tension.


Add broken candy canes to the canister and mix well.


When you're ready to use the mix.  Take a 1/3 cup of the mix, add it to a mug, and add hot water.  Add marshmallows if you like.



Happiness.  Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart.  Bitter.  Sweet.  Alive.
