Hmmm mmmm good! I loved it!! Not overly peppermint like you might expect. Just the right amount! It was also good with a little peppermint schnapps!

i made it with instant hot chocolate and crushed the hook off of a candy cane and then stuck the rest of the candy cane in the drink and it tasted great!

This is a yummy variation on the usual Carnation hot cocoa packet. It's the first time I've made it from scratch and it'll now be my standard. I was making it for 6 so I just evened everything out to make it easier. I used 6 cups milk, 6 ounces Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips (you can never have too much chocolate!) and crushed 6 candy canes. It took a bit of time for it to all meld together, but it was definitely worth it (I baked some fresh cookies from batter I'd made earlier while it simmered). I put regular sized candy canes in because it's all I had. All that was in the cocoa melted. I didn't have whipped cream so I used mashmallows. I'll try the whipped cream next time. It's especially great during the holiday season. Today is Christmas and it fit in perfectly! YUM!

A nice change from the old standard, but not spectacular. Make sure you use whole milk -- I tried to get by with the skim milk I had on hand, and it just wasn't quite right.

If you are making this for guests, you need to think about whether or not they will really like the peppermint flavor. I liked it but I think not everyone would.

this was the best cocoa ever!!!! the chocolate didn't satisfy my sweet tooth though, so i added some ovaltine to mine, just to sweeten it up a bit. this is going in my recipe box for sure!!!!!

Oh wow is all I can say! I crave this not only during the holidays now. Very easy to make. I used nutri-sweet calorie reduced instead of regular whipped topping and no one even noticed the difference. For someone who isnt into sweet things this might have a little too much flavour for them so just serve half a cup.

I thought it was good,but we used two big candy canes insted of four small ones so it was really sweet.You also need to crush them up really really good or else it has big chunks in it so you need to kind of turn it into dust. my whole family liked it even the kid who wont eat any thing!We drank it on new years eve.

This was a great treat! My family also enjoyed this while decorating the tree this year. I added red colored sugar sprinkles to the top of the whipped cream. It was very attractive looking and the kids went crazy! We loved it!
