Heyheyhey! We hope you’ve got a sweet tooth for Nutella!!!! “Swirled Peppermint Nutella Hot Cocoa” is the perfect treat for those cold winter days! This festive treat we created ourselves will warm up frosty fingers and make EVERYONE jolly! Enjoy!
~Zoe & Larissa
Ingredients:
~1 (or more!) packets of SwissMiss Hot Chocolate with the teenie tiny marshmallows
~Regular marshmallows (the mini kind are fabulous)
~1 (or more!) crushed candy cane(s)
~Red (or any color you want, really) candy crystals (aka SUGAR SPRINKLES!)
~hot water (obviously)
~a pinch of milk (any kind you like!)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Boil some water.
2.Choose a large mug (preferrably winter themed), and place it place it on a plate.
3. Get the hot chocolate mix and put it into your mug. One packet should be enough since you will be adding lots of ingredients. (including Nutella!!)
4. Get the marshmallows from the hot cocoa mix and add those in as well. You can also add mini marshmallows so that they will melt and make it even more tasty!
5. Get one candy cane and unrwap it.Then place the candy cane in a plastic bag and crush it!! You can use a hammer, the back of a spoon, or you could just put the candy cane in a blender and crush it that way. (You can use more than one candy cane if you really love peppermint, of course!)
6. Add some Nutella, as much as you want!
7. When the water is boiled, you can pour it into your mug and then add a droplet (or more) of milk.
