Christmas is only eight days away. With all the holiday celebrating going on, you need to make sure to set aside some time to put your feet up and relax! I can’t think of a better way to do that than with a hot cup of this Easy Peppermint Hot Chocolate!
This hot chocolate is silky smooth and so creamy with the perfect hint of peppermint. For a lower fat version of this hot chocolate, you can use 1% or 2% milk.
I hope your holidays are merry and bright and filled with lots of Peppermint Hot Chocolate!
With love from my kitchen to yours,
