More than a hint of cool mint makes this delicious sipper a special switch from traditional hot chocolate. Besides the rich beverage that's quick to fix, a dollop of whipped cream with crushed candy tops each mug lusciously. Ingredients:
3-1/2 cups 2% milk |
8 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
8 spearmint or peppermint candies, crushed |
additional crushed peppermint candies, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until steaming. Add chocolate; whisk until smooth. Stir in peppermint extract.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in the crushed candies. Ladle hot chocolate into mugs; dollop with whipped cream. Sprinkle with additional candies if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
