Candy Cane Shot Glass with Peppermint Milk: 

These little candy cane glasses are so easy to make (you’ll be shocked) and they are cute.  You can fill them with milk, eggnog, or even fill them with candy pieces.

The truth is… they look so cute you won’t want to eat them (but they taste so good that you will!)

With so many cookie exchanges on the calendar this month, it’s the perfect little appetizer to take.  It’s adorable and everyone will ask how on earth you made them.

Today’s recipe will make around 8 glasses and takes around 2-3 hours total, but it’s worth it!
