After stumbling upon a package of Hammonds Peppermint Cotton Candy at Target I knew it would come in handy at some point. I'm obsessed with cotton candy. Clearly my clever bf knows that as I was gifted with a cotton candy maker for Christmas.
Inspired by a chocolate peppermint cupcake from Trophy Cupcakes, I used a handful of cotton candy to top off a mug of peppermint hot chocolate. It ended up being the perfect alternative to whipping cream. Though my one caveat, it does dissolve quickly, so it's best to prop it above the beverage until served to your guests.
