Ok, so winter is over... at least down here in Florida, but that doesn't mean we should throw out the hot cocoa mix or even stop drinking warm tasty beverages. I actually find this recipe on Hungry Girl, but it sounds so incredibly delicious that I had to share! This is a low-cal version so if you're not too worried about those, feel free to use what you have rather than the low-cal versions... And for all you non-coffee drinkers *cough*Mom*cough* I'm sure it tastes just as good sans instant coffee.
What you need:
2 packets Swiss Miss Diet hot cocoa mix
1 tsp. instant coffee
2 tsp. Coffee-mate Sugar Free French Vanilla powdered creamer
2 no-calorie sweetener packets (like Splenda)
1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
1/3 peppermint candy cane (standard size), crushed
2 tbsp. Fat Free Reddi-wip
What to do:
Empty contents of cocoa packets into a tall mug or glass. Add instant coffee and powdered creamer. Slowly pour in 12 ounces of hot water, stirring until cocoa and creamer have completely dissolved. Stir in the peppermint extract and sweetener.
If your drink is extra-hot, let it cool for a minute or so. Top your drink off with the Reddi-wip, and then sprinkle the crushed candy cane pieces over the whipped topping.
