Here are pictures and explanation about the hot chocolate on a stick that I made for my co-workers. (apologies for the cell phone pics)




I actually made 20 of these total. Each name tag was on a different puzzle piece. It just happens that the last two left were the same one. Argh. They're done with chalkboard paint so they can wipe off my writing and change it, if they want. This was my favorite part. I wish I had some left for my family, but alas, I do not.
I melted chocolate chips and then put them in a mini-muffin tin. Sprinkled with crushed peppermints. Then, stuck the wooden spoons in there. (I also used popsicle sticks on some. It wasn't as pretty, but it worked just fine.) Let it all set up again and then assembled!
It took for freaking ever, but people seemed really pleased, which made it work the effort.
I also tried an extra myself -- just heat up a cup of milk and stir in the chocolate. It worked awesome and I probably will never drink powdered again.
Viola!
Unrelated, McCall Cabal. Should be an icon. Also, a way of life.
