 Feeling extra fancy? You can also add a decorative and delicious candy cane rim! Place a candy can in a re-sealable plastic bag.

Dip your bug into the chocolate and then the candy before filling it up with your delicious cocktail!

NUTRITIONAL FACT:

Stress giving you headaches? The menthol in peppermint oil increases blood flow and provides a cooling sensation. At least two clinical studies have shown these effects to help with tension headaches and migraines. The aroma itself is enough to induce muscle relaxation in some people. Ganoderma lucidum also prepares the body for better quality of sleep, during which the body is able to balance and heal more effectively. Take the holidays head on, without the headache!
