Effortless Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Effortless Peppermint Hot Chocolate
"Peppermint is such a delicious flavor, especially when you add chocolate to it! Mixing the two together for a peppermint hot chocolate drink is simple! All you need is your favorite hot cocoa mix and some peppermint extract. Of course, it's always fun to garnish with peppermint candy and whipped cream! To make a larger batch for a crowd, I recommend warming the milk and hot chocolate mix in a saucepan and adding the peppermint extract after you turn off the heat. "
