Hot Peppermint White Chocolate Bliss

Drinking Hot Chocolate is one of my favorite ways to cozy up in the winter season. I love to experiment with different twists on beloved seasonal go-to’s.

Here is a recipe for my new favorite, which I call Hot Peppermint White Chocolate Bliss 🙂

You can adjust the amount to suit:

~ 4 cups of milk (I use unsweetened almond milk but you can use any type)

~ 7 hard peppermint candies/candy canes (I prefer organic but you can use whatever type you want 🙂 )

and then 4 more to crush for the top of each mug)

~  White chocolate bar or 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

~  1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

~  Sweeten to taste with sweetener of choice

~ Dairy or dairy-free whipped topping (I love Coco Whip made from Coconut Milk)

I like to use a blender or Nutribullet which thoroughly blends and adds awesome foam to mixture)  Then I heat all ingredients to desired temperature (and making sure all chocolate is melted).  Pour into mug and top with whip and crushed mints and enjoy!
