Remember how last week I shared my homemade peppermint oreos? As I was cleaning up, a simple idea came to me….follow me here…..
My kids are in love with hot chocolate these days. If you follow me on Twitter, you saw my tweet a week or so ago:
My kids have been begging for it every day since. And I get rock star mom status- it’s a no brainer.
So I took the left over candy canes and an empty spice jar.
I soaked the spice jar to clean it and take the label off.
Printed a new label. And voila:
Crushed “peppermint” or candy canes
I have it on hand for all of my kids hot chocolate drinks, ready to go.
I also think it’d be the perfect addition to the homemade hot cocoa mix.

Brilliant! You are definitely getting the "cool mom" trophy for that one!
Mique as in Mickey – love it so much. You, my friend, had a sheer stroke of brilliance on this one. Sharing it on facebook, twitter and I stumbled it. Oh…and I shouted from the rooftop too, but only my neighbor heard me ;-)
Such a genius ideas. I've added it to my peppermint round up on Monday!! :)
LOVE this!
me & my 9 y/o LOVE peppermint hot chocolate! Last year we stuck the entire candy cane in our drink. YUM! Now Starbucks has the peppermint hot choc! But I like ours better w/lotsa whip cream!! Yummee.
Very cute idea! It seems so obvious, but it's so creative : )
Simple – yet brilliant at the very same time!
Great idea!
Now off to find that oreo recipe…
