Instructions
- Add the almond milk and Nutpods (if using) to a medium pot or saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
- Add in cocoa powder, chocolate chips, maple syrup and peppermint extract.
- Whisk well until combined and the milk is frothy. If you have one, you can use a handheld milk frother to mix and froth the milk.
- Heat on medium heat for another 2 minutes and stir occasionally.
Candy Cane Rim (Optional)
- Dip the rim of your mugs into a plate with honey. Set aside to allow the honey to harden.
- Place 2-3 candy canes in a Ziploc bag. Close the bag and use a meat ballet or other heavy item to crush up the candy canes into small pieces. Place the crushed candy canes on a small plate.
- Lower the rim of each mug into the crushed candy canes and rotate until covered.
- Serve your hot chocolate in the prepared mugs. Garnish with mini marshmallows and a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired.
Notes
- The Peppermint Nutpods is a seasonal flavor that can be found in some stores or at nutpods.com. It adds a great creaminess and flavor. If you cannot find it, use extra almond milk in its place.
