A hot drink is an easy way to warm you up during the cold season. An easy way to make a tasty drink is to throw in some Hershey Candy Cane kisses. Grab a few kisses and cut them up before adding them to your choice of hot chocolate.

Stir the hot chocolate until the kisses are completely melted. The kisses add a minty taste to the hot cocoa and give more dimension to the hot chocolate flavor.

With all of the food being eaten during this time, it can hard to maintain a healthy diet, but this vegan recipe will give you a quick sweet fix that you won’t regret later. Melt vegan margarine, a milk alternative, and sunflower oil in a pan until completely melted.
