It’s not even winter yet and my son has already been on a hot chocolate kick. Almost every night for dessert he wants hot chocolate. I mean he could want worst things so I can’t complain too much. At least it’s milk, right!?
Making regular hot chocolate gets old after a while so I decided to switch things up and try white hot chocolate. Not any white hot chocolate, though. Candy cane white hot chocolate! I already have an overabundance of candy canes from last year eating up room in the pantry. It was a win, win for us. Good thing these things don’t seem to go bad!
For extra fun, I even frothed some of the white hot chocolate with an Automatic Milk Frother. It gave it a nice cappuccino feel. I love how this frother can just heat milk and/or froth it. It’s super easy to use too. With just a push of button, you have frothed milk in seconds. I love it!
The “white” hot chocolate does turn pink because of the candy canes. It would be perfect for a breast cancer awareness drink!
My kids loved it. They said it tastes like the reindeer food we make at Christmas time. Delicious!

I’m going to keep this in mind for next winter to make for my Granddaughter.
