Now for the cake I am bringing to the work meeting, I covered in peanut butter and a drizzle of a nice chocolate syrup.  Looks yummy!

The cake I am making for myself will be different, which I have not decided on yet.

Peppermint Hot coco with last years candy canes!

Are you like me and have a tendency to put stuff in cabintes and basically forget about them.  Candy Canes.  I love them, and I want them to last, so I try not to eat them.  Which of course means that I sometimes have candy canes left over from last Holiday season.  They are still in plastic, and still good, but I need to use them up so I don't have a overload of candy canes!
I made Coffee House style Peppermint Hot Coco.




What I used:
1 mini candy cane still in its pack.
1 section of Hersey's brand Milk Chocolate bar (not the whole bar, just one "tab")
Hot Coco mix
1/2 Water - 1/2 Milk
How I put it together:
I put the water in a pan and started heating it up.
Using a rolling pin, I crushed the candy cane and poured the bits into the hot water.
Stir until basically dissolved.
Add Milk, coco mix, and milk chocolate "tab"
Stir until heated and the chocolate tab is melted and at a temp you like.
The Aftermath:
Perfect on a cold winter's evening snuggling with your sweety on the couch watching NCIS.  We love that show.  The mint came through every so nicely, I could have had a bit more I think.  Also, wishing there was whipped cream.  It was tasty!
