I always have too many candy canes leftover at Christmas and I love hot chocolate! I made some of these as little gifts for friends. The peppermint taste is quite subtle and you need to keep stirring the hot chocolate to spread the peppermint flavour. This is also a really good way of using any broken candy canes.
You will need a pack of plastic spoons, 100 grams dark chocolate and some crushed candy canes.

- Melt the dark chocolate.
- Dip the plastic spoons into the hot chocolate until covered.
- Place on greaseproof paper and sprinkle on the crushed candy cane.
- Leave to set.
- When you want to use the spoons heat a mug of milk and stir in the chocolate spoon.

As these use up Christmas leftovers I am entering them into my No Waste Food Challenge which this month focusses on using up Christmas leftovers.
