Ooh, now that soundds really good and easy; I have not bought the candy cane
one from Sam's Club, as I do not care for essence of peppermint that much,
but the way I found it was we were looking for my beloved Land O' Lakes
variety boxes of hot chocolate mix, and again, only seasonal, and they were
out for the rest of the year, and replaced by this candy cane.

The best I have found on the market is Stphen's Gourmet Candycane
Cocoa. That is Stephen with a ph. He uses real crushed peppermint
candy canes. One friend found it at Rite-Aids (sorry, I don't know
how that is properly spelled), and she found it in individual packets.
Amazon has it in cans, I believe. It is a rich chocolate with just
the right amount of mint. Haven!
Now, if you cannot find it, here's how to make your own. Place the
contents of your favorite hot cocoa mix in a cup; place a York
Peppermint Patty on top of the cocoa. Add about a quarter cup hot
water, stir rather vigorously. Add another quarter cup hot water;
stir more gently (so it doesn't slop over the sides). Add remaining
water and stir until all is combined and dissolved. Top it with one
or two tablespoons marshmallow creme. The creme makes the cocoa taste
very dark and rich. It's splendid! Jennifer

get in on the tail end of the product, four or five boxes of this mix in
one
huge box, meaning, buying in quantity.

I have been looking for mint hot chocolate or cocoa with mint included in
the mix for a long time. If anyone has a recipe or knows of a store that
sells either or both of these, I would appreciate the information.Thanks.
