- ¼ cup heavy cream
Mix & Color
- 5 tbsp white hot chocolate mix
- Pink food coloring (to desired amount)
Optional Decoration
- ⅓ cup white candy melts
- Sprinkles

Instructions
- Heat Milk and Cream: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the whole milk and heavy cream together until it bubbles around the edges, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
- Add Hot Chocolate Mix and Color: Whisk in the white hot chocolate mix until fully dissolved, then stir in pink food coloring to achieve your desired shade.
