For that friend who always has their hands around a hot cocoa mug during the holidays, these Hot Cocoa Dippers will be a welcome treat. Easy to assemble and decorate, these make for a great last-minute Christmas gift idea!

What You'll Need

  • 24 small or large candy canes, unwrapped, divided
  • 12 large marshmallows
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening

What to Do

  1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
  2. Place a candy cane in the center of each marshmallow; set aside. Place remaining candy canes in a resealable plastic bag and using a mallet, finely crush. Place in a bowl.
  3. In a medium microwaveable bowl, combine chocolate chips and shortening; microwave 1 minute, stir, and continue to heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Let cool slightly.
  4. Dip marshmallows in chocolate, covering all sides and letting excess drip off. Sprinkle crushed candy canes over chocolate and place on wax paper to cool.

Notes

For gift giving, wrap in cellophane paper and tie with a decorative ribbon.

This looks great and we all like hot cocoa and peppermint

These sound so good, the family might forget about the hot drink and just eat the dippers! I'm sure I would want extras.

These look so cute and yummy! I will have to give these a try. Thank you!

Wow, this looks good!
