You just can't find a better and more christmas-y combination than chocolate and peppermint. It also just happens to be Z's favorite combo as well... so when I was making some hot chocolate for us to slurp by the christmas tree, i had to try it out. The result was both yummy AND good for the soul as all hot cocoa is! :)
1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp heavy cream
1 tbsp baking cocoa
3 tbsp powdered sugar
2 tbsp creme de menthe syrup (or liqueur)
4 cups milk
In small saucepan melt chocolate pieces with cream. Add cocoa, sugar, and syrup. Stir until smooth. Slowly whisk in milk and scald (heat until just before boiling point. Serve steamy hot in mugs with marshmellows and a peppermint stick!
Makes 4 mugs of cocoa.
