I just love this time of year \u2013 everything is sparkly, lights are twinkling in the trees, and of course, d\u2019lish candy canes everywhere! There are candy canes found hanging on trees and peeking out of stockings. They are also an ingredient in many of my favorite holiday goodies!<\/p>\n

Peppermint and chocolate \u2013 oh yea! I love to sprinkle crushed candy canes on chocolate chip cookies or brownies before baking.<\/p>\n

Or what about a Spiked Candy Cane Coffee<\/strong>! Baileys, J\u00e4ger, a hint of peppermint, and hot coffee topped with peppermint whipped cream and of course crushed candy canes. Recipe is below, but if you\u2019re flying out of Sea-Tac Airport<\/a> this month you can also sip one at Rel\u2019Lish Burger Lounge<\/a> on Concourse B.<\/p>\n

\nWho\u2019s ready for a sip of Spiked Candy Cane Coffee<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

And have you ever had candy can infused vodka? Just combine 1 1\/2 cup of vodka plus 8 \u2013 10 starlight peppermints or 6 mini candy canes in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake a couple of times a day until dissolved. Voilla \u2013 Santa\u2019s little helper! Enjoy it in your cocoa or frozen as a shot.<\/p>\n
