These Chocolate Dipped Candy Cane Hot Cocoa Sticks are a festive way to drink your holiday hot cocoa.
I don't know about you, but when the weather cools down I could drink hot chocolate just about every day. I love chocolate, first of all.... but I also love how it helps to warm you up from the inside.
There is something special about enjoying a day out in the snow and then coming inside for a warm glass of hot cocoa.
These chocolate covered peppermint sticks are a great way to enjoy your festive treat while also adding some delicious flavor to your hot chocolate.
Enjoy your holiday hot chocolate with some fun festive desserts like our Rudolph cookies, mickey donuts or holiday elf brownies!

Hi, my name is Melissa! I live in Spanish Fork, Utah. I'm happily married to Rob, and together we have five wonderful kids. Our family loves to embark on adventures, often in our RV, exploring the great outdoors. I'm an avid reader and a big fan of Hallmark movies – they always have a way of lifting my spirits. Hiking is another passion of mine; there's nothing like the tranquility of nature. I have a sweet tooth for chocolate and a love for Mexican food, both of which make life a little more delicious. In my downtime, I enjoy playing games with my family, creating memories and sharing laughter. Life is an adventure, and I'm here to enjoy every moment of it!
