It’s the simple things like these Chocolate Dipped Peppermint Stir Sticks that help to make the holiday season extra special. Don’t you think? On cold nights we love snuggling up on the couch, sipping hot cocoa. I highly recommend this homemade hot cocoa recipe.
Some nights I like to add homemade peppermint marshmallows, but these peppermint stir sticks are easier to make and just as delicious. If you are not a hot cocoa drinker, they are even great with a cup of coffee or warmed milk.
Ingredients:
Peppermint Sticks (bought mine at Target)
Melting Milk Chocolate
White Chocolate
Sprinkles
Directions:
Start by melting your milk chocolate in microwave for about 15 seconds each time until smooth. Then you will want to have a piece of wax paper set aside. Dunk your peppermint stick in the chocolate and set on wax paper. Repeat for all fo them. Then you can get your white chocolate and melt that the same way in the microwave. Mixing until smooth. Then add that into a zip lock bag to the one corner. Then twist and cut the corner off. Drizzle over your sticks and then sprinkle your sprinkles on it if you are using them. Then let harden and they are ready to go. Put them in your hot chocolate for a flavor kick!
These peppermint stir sticks would be such a sweet homemade Christmas gift for a friend, teacher or coworker. Pair them with a pretty holiday mug and some packets of hot chocolate for a complete gift.
