The Candy Cane dust turned into a hybrid cross between cake-like and chewy texture, full of so much chocolate richness and the subtle after taste of candy cane that even my 5 year old son approved of it.
I may just have to make an extra batch of these for Santa for Christmas Eve midnight, because poor Santa leaving allllll those presents must get so hungry he’d need to refuel. Right? Right.
