Candy Cane Hot Chocolate Stir Sticks
How cute would these be on Christmas Eve with the kids? I’m making them to gift to my kiddos along with their hot chocolate bombs, Christmas Eve pajamas, and some cute mugs that I’ll grab from the dollar store.
The best party being is once it’s all melted and worked into the hot cocoa, you’ll have candy cane hot chocolate.
Want more ideas on what you can do with the hot chocolate stirrers? Why not have them for a hot chocolate bar or a hot chocolate charcuterie board?
How cute would a hot chocolate bar be with different flavors of hot chocolate, hot cocoa bombs, homemade hot chocolate stir sticks, whipped cream, candy canes, cinnamon, shaved chocolate, and a ton of sprinkles?
Peppermint Stirrers Ingredients
You can make your own hot chocolate stirrers out of the following:
- Regular sized marshmallows if you’re vegan try these ones.
- Mini candy canes
- Chocolate or chocolate candy melts (Candy Melts work best)
In my personal experience, the Candy Melts work best. They set quickly and the chocolate stays hard, so it makes less of a mess. I usually just zap them in the microwave according to the package instructions. They’re quick and easy.
Equipment Needed
- Parchment Paper
