This recipe shows there's more you can do with those cute little pastel pillow mints than simply pop 'em in your mouth or fill the candy dishes at wedding and baby showers. Add five to a cup of milk with some instant chocolate malted powder, heat until hot and you've got a quick and easy, hot cup of yum.

3/4 cup milk
