I'm not a candy cane fan. At least, not candy canes of the peppermint variety. So when my sister Lisa came up with this ingenious use for candy canes I knew I had to share it with all of you (you know, so you're not still staring those things down in March).
Take five candy canes off your tree
Side Note: yes, we can still be friends if you aren't a Red Sox fan. Just take Tom and I for example. We have different favorite teams, but our ornaments definitely coexist harmoniously on the tree.
Unwrap the candy canes and put them in a cuisinart.
Pulse candy canes until they look like this:
Add to a tub of cool whip (or for you modern mavens, a bowl of freshly whipped cream)
The cool whip should be a nice pink color.
Make a cup of your favorite hot cocoa.....
Add a dollop (or two) of the cool whip and enjoy!
Admittedly, this looked better in my head. Pretty or no, it tastes delish!! |
This is definitely a Lisa special! So yummy.
