Hot Chocolate Stirrers

This is a lovely idea for hot chocolates. Add melted chocolate to an ice cube tray and pop in a candy cane and sprinkles and chill. Once set, remove from the tray and add to hot milk. You can also stick the candy cane into a large marshmallow and dip this in chocolate and use it the same way.
