HG has done it again – we’ve created yet another fantastic Starbucks swap! This one is creamy and crazy-chocolatey, with just the right amount of minty candy cane, coffee, and french vanilla flavors thrown in. It’s super-sized to match The Bucks’ 12-ouncer, but feel free to whip up a half-sized version of this recipe that’ll fit nicely into your favorite mug — then it’ll have fewer than 55 calories and a POINTS® value of 1*. Think of it as our delicious little holiday gift to you. And BTW, if java’s not your thing, feel free to make this minty concoction without coffee. Enjoy!

We discovered the secret ingredient to the world’s best hot cocoa: fire. Don’t fear the flame, people! Kitchen torches can be relatively cheap, easy to find (at places like Bed Bath & Beyond or online), and pretty simple to use. Get ready to burn some marshmallows!
