FitWaffle has you covered again with the how-to's.

Candy Cane Flavour

Fancy something a bit off the wall? Try candy cane flavoured hot chocolate.

It's slightly fancier than the other recipes, with the term "creamer" being used for milk.

And of course, you'll need to find candy canes.

It also takes a little longer to make but we promise it's worth the wait.
