Keep Screen Awake

Add milk and half and half to a medium pan and heat over MED heat until simmering around the edges, but not boiling.
Lower the heat slightly, and add in chocolate. Whisk continuously until chocolate is melted.
Add in cornstarch and peppermint extract (if using) and continue whisking until smooth and velvety.
Serve with whipped cream, drizzle of chocolate syrup, marshmallows, peppermint sticks or crushed candy canes.
FOR HOT WHITE CHOCOLATE:
Replace regular chocolate chips with white chocolate chips and continue with the recipe
