Peppermint Hot Chocolate

So it begins, my Christmas baking and tree decorating. When I start baking I make these Peppermint Hot Chocolate to really get in the spirit!!!These are not your typical powder mix hot chocolate.

No, no these Peppermint hot chocolate drinks are what dreams are made of. Real melted chocolate, milk, cream and  full of peppermint flavor that screams Christmas is coming!!!

Pour them into pretty glass mugs to add a sparkle to your Holiday mood and be sure to add the candy canes when the hot chocolate is hot.

The heat melts the candy canes for extra peppermint flavor, that I love this time of year!!!!!

You Can Adult These Peppermint Hot Chocolates

Oh yeah you can easily adult these Peppermint Hot chocolates. Here’s how, You can add any kind of liqueur you like. Brandy works particularly  well in this recipe,

If your like me and are allergic to alcohol adult it up with some real strong coffee.

You could use espresso if you have an espresso machine, I still use my stove top espresso coffee maker like my mother did, it works perfectly or you can use regular coffee

But if your wanting espresso any time of the year, but don’t want the expense of a home espresso machine get the stove top one. I  also used real whip cream, but you don’t have too. You can use what fits your lifestyle and taste.

If you make these holiday inspired drinks please leave me a comment and don’t forget to tag me on Instagram with your creations.

I love hearing from you, that’s my favorite part!!!!
