Ingredients

  • 1 package of Chocolate Almond Bark - melting chocolate
  • 1 package of Mini Candy Canes

  • 1 bottle of Sprinkle Mix - See link
  • 1 can of Redi-Whip Whipped Cream

Instructions

  • Line a large Cookie Sheet with Parchment paper, and place the Mini Candy Canes together with ends touching, in pairs - one will look like it's turned backward, see photos.
  • In a medium bowl, melt the Chocolate in the Microwave, and stir to blend.
  • Fill the middle or centers of the Candy Cane pairs with the Melted Chocolate, and let sit until the chocolate sets, or hardens.
  • Make about 6 Candy Cane Chocolates for each drink.
  • Take a 10-ounce White Mug, and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating the edge of the top of the mug in the chocolate, and then roll the Chocolate edge in the Sprinkle Mix. (See photo)
  • Place two or three of the Mini Candy Cane Chocolates in the mug, and heat Milk to just almost boiling.
  • Pour hot Milk over the Mini Candy Cane Chocolates, and stir to melt.
  • Top the mug with a generous amount of Whipped Cream, sprinkle with crushed Candy Canes, and add a Mini Candy Cane Chocolate to the top of the Mug.  Serve, and Enjoy!
