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.

This is a really cute idea! I think I’m going to borrow it to make when my boys are in bed and wake up to find what their creepy little ‘Elf of the Shelf’ did while their sleeping :D. Of course, I’ll have to taste test one with a nice warm cup of coco while making some 😉
I have to say, this is a really nice idea. I can even get my kids to make the, they are so easy. Thanks.
WoW that looks really festive and yummy. I’m sure the kids would love it.
Great idea, I think I’ll try this one out.
I have never been a fan of peppermint candy, but this sounds like a delicious way to eat it. How creative!
yumm! What a fun and easy DIY 🙂 would be great as a gift too
What a fun thing to make for the holidays. This is really awesome!
I love making these! I also like doing it with marshmallows!
Now this looks like a great treat to have especially for Christmas preparations.
This is a must try, I love the idea of chocolate dipped peppermint stir sticks!
I would have to say this is neat. These are two of my favorite things together. I would not have thought to combine the two.
