Peppermint Hot Chocolate


Just spied: This delicious peppermint hot chocolate recipe on Allrecipes.com. It has received a bunch of very favorable reviews and it's super easy:

INGREDIENTS
:
  • 4 cups milk
  • 3 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 4 peppermint candy canes, crushed
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 4 small peppermint candy canes
DIRECTIONS:
In a saucepan, heat milk until hot, but not boiling. Whisk in the chocolate and the crushed peppermint candies until melted and smooth. Pour hot cocoa into four mugs, and garnish with whipped cream. Serve each with a candy cane stirring stick.

Hmmm...We are thinking that this recipe might save us from spending all our holiday gift money at Starbucks, paying over $3.00 for a peppermint mocha on a regular basis. Try this one out, and let us know what you think!
(We especially think that this would be the perfect toasty drink for when we decorate our trees this year!)
