It's hot, it's chocolate, it's lightly alcoholic, with just a breath of peppermint. What's not to like? Oh yes. It's topped with a lovely shhoosh of whipped cream and chips of crushed candy cane. Yum.

| Mortar and pestle for crushing peppermint canes. (Optional -- you can use a hammer and a plastic bag.) |
- Eight ounces of hot, hot water in a festive mug
- Stir in three tablespoons of Swiss Miss Chocolate Mix
- Add one half shot of Mothers Peppermint Schnapps
- Squirt on a generous swirl of Reddi Whip
- Top with candy cane, crushed and sprinkled
This was so good, we made two more. We've got a full canister of Swiss Miss and a fifth of Mothers Peppermint Schnapps so we're good to go for the entire season, even if the Mayans got it wrong.
The best part is that we have finally figured out a way to use that big gift bottle of Mothers Peppermint Schnapps some thoughtful soul had re-gifted to us a few years back, since then long forgotten on the liquor shelf. Its seal remained unbroken . . . until tonight, 12/12/12.
