White Christmas Cocoa

'Tis the season...

We're decking the halls!

Tree is up, stockings are hung, and shopping has begun. (One gift down, dozens to go!)

Dreaming of a white Christmas? I am!

Let it snow!

While waiting on mother nature and thinking of some more cheesy Christmas cliches, some white chocolate hot cocoa might hit the spot. When I found this recipe, I couldn't resist. (Thank you Food Network!)


Such a festive treat, topped with marshmallows or whipped cream and garnished with a candy cane stirrer.


We also tried rimming the mug with melted chocolate and dipping it in crushed peppermint. (I'm a margarita drinker, can you tell??) The kids loved this one, a bite of candy with every sip. It was the perfect end to a long, cold day.

How about some holiday cheer? White Christmas Cocoa with a little (or a lot) of peppermint liquor, cheers! Or get creative, I added my favorite...


Mmmmmm, talk about warm and cozy!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! (sorry, couldn't resist)

White Christmas Cocoa
1 cup white chocolate chips (don't be shy)
1 cup heavy cream
4 cups half-and-half
1 tsp vanilla extract
whipped topping or marshmallows
candy canes

Melt white chocolate with heavy cream over medium heat, stir continuously until completely melted. Stir in half-and-half and vanilla. Continue stirring until heated through. Pour into mugs and garnish with topping and candy.

Enjoy!
