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!
