If you’re not big on the holiday celebrations starting on November 1, you might not be psyched about this post. However, if you love the lights, decorations, and seasonal drinks that come around this time of year, why not skip the lines and high prices and mix up a delicious seasonal treat of your own? This recipe is simple, yummy, and will get you in the spirit…even if we’re still a month or so away.

Tools:
- Stove
- Saucepan
- Whisk
- Mug
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 peppermint candy cane, crushed

- 1 mini candy cane (for garnish)
Directions:
- Over medium heat on stove, heat the milk in the saucepan until hot, but don’t let it boil! Watch carefully.
