Hot Chocolate on a Stick: A Unique Holiday Gift

(firmenpresse) - MISSION, KS -- (Marketwired) -- 11/07/13 -- (Family Features) 'Tis the season of giving -- and Hot Chocolate on a Stick is a fun and thoughtful gift that will warm hearts and taste buds alike. A creative twist on hot chocolate, it's easy to make with kids and sure to please the "hard to shop for" recipients on your list.

"Peppermint extract adds a holiday touch to these fudgy squares," said Mary Beth Harrington of the McCormick Kitchens. "I always include a little note explaining how to enjoy the treat, like 'Swirl into a mug of hot milk for a rich and creamy drink.'"

For the finishing touch, top each one with a marshmallow and wrap in cellophane with colorful ribbon. Discover other flavor variations -- like mocha and orange -- and more gift ideas at , , or .
