Peppermint Hot Chocolate Recipe: Rich and Creamy!

My kids are Californians through and through. When it drops to 50 degrees they think that the only way they can warm up is with hot chocolate. This, to me, is hilarious because we used to live in Alaska and anything above 32 degrees felt like park weather! But I like hot chocolate too so we have it often. There’s nothing wrong with a good hot cocoa mix, but making hot chocolate from scratch is absolutely delicious and is really pretty easy to do! You can make it on a large scale or an individual cup. This recipe serves 4.

whipped cream

crushed candy canes

Use some of your leftover candy canes from Christmas to top this delicious treat! I like using Ghirardelli melting chocolate wafers for my chocolate because I always have a lot left over after the holidays, but milk chocolate chips would work too!
