Easy Peppermint Hot Chocolate

December 17, 2014 by myrecipeconfessions

Easy Peppermint Hot Chocolate is the best recipe ever! This homemade hot chocolate is so much better than any mix! It is a creamy chocolate with the perfect amount of peppermint.

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!

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,

Carrie
