advent calendar: candy cane hot chocolates

a canadian through and through, i wait patiently every year for two very important events: tim hortons rrroll up the rim, and candy cane hot chocolates. while the former generally leaves me cross (two cups of coffee a day for weeks on end and not a single prize won!), the latter never fails to make me smile. whats better, i've recently learned how to make it at home (no need to trek through meter high snow!)

there are many recipes out there - a quick google search will prove it - i like to make mine by adding a peppermint tea bag to a cup of hot cocoa and crushing up little candy canes into that mixture. garnish as you wish but i'd suggest a mound of whipped cream and generously sprinkled with crushed candy canes.

now grab your favourite book or turn on your favourite holiday movie, get the fireplace roaring, cuddle up in that snuggie, and enjoy!
