Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Report
This Peppermint Hot Chocolate is the perfect drink for cold winter days! I love the sweet and creamy white chocolate with a hint of peppermint and the melty crunchy candy cane pieces mixed in.

Instructions
- Combine the cream, milks, peppermint extract and chocolate chips in a slow cooker or over the stove on low heat. Stir occasionally until chocolate chips have dissolved.
- Bring mix to desired temperature then serve in mugs and top with whipped topping and crushed candy cane pieces.
For Candy Cane Rims
- Crush candy canes and place in a bowl.
- Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave. Cook for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until melted. Dip rim into the bowl.
- Immediately dip into the crushed candy canes until the white chocolate is covered.
Notes
- Make sure to heat the chocolate with low heat while you are melting the chips. Microwave in a glass bowl for thirty seconds, whisk, then repeat until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Or combine all the ingredients in a slow cooker and stir until melted. You can cook it in a saucepan too. Just make sure to stir constantly on medium heat or the chocolate chips can burn and leave you with a scalded flavor.
- If you can’t find peppermint extract, you can also use peppermint oil. Oils are more concentrated than extracts, so you only need to use a 1:4 ratio of oil to extract. So, for this recipe you would use ¼ teaspoon oil.
- You can also add peppermint syrup - there are dozens of delicious syrups available at the grocery store.
