Christmas Tea with Candy Cane Stirrers  


The chocolate coating on these candy canes helps sweeten the tea. Make your classic cup of loose or bagged tea and place one or two candy canes over the teacup.

 
 

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup finely chopped semisweet chocolate morsels
25 (2 1/2-inch) long candy canes
 

METHOD

Heat the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 50 percent power until the chocolate is soft, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Return to the microwave and heat again for about 20 seconds. Keep the chocolate warm by placing the bowl in a larger vessel of hot water, halfway up the bowl.

Dip the straight ends of the candy cane into the chocolate, coating about half of the cane. Lift the canes out and place on a baking sheet coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick. Chill in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes and then return the canes to room temperature. The chocolate will be hard. Wrap each cane in clear plastic wrap until ready to serve. Then pass a plate full of canes around with the cream and sugar.
