- 0.25 cup Sugar-free powdered creamer
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 6 pieces Sugar-free peppermint candies (crushed)
- 1 cup per serving Boiling water or warm milk of choice
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered milk, erythritol, sugar-free powdered creamer, and salt until well combined.
Place the sugar-free peppermint candies in a zip-top bag, and gently crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin or a heavy object. Be careful not to crush them into powder.
Mix the crushed peppermint candies into the cocoa mixture, stirring to evenly distribute the pieces.
Transfer the mix to an airtight container or jar for storage. The mix will keep in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
To prepare a serving of Candy Cane Cocoa, add 3 tablespoons of the mix to a mug. Pour 1 cup of boiling water or warm milk of your choice over the mix and stir until completely dissolved.
Garnish with a small sugar-free peppermint stick or a dollop of whipped cream (optional) and enjoy!
