Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate

Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

This drink is a combination between a hot chocolate and a mocha. It has a very subtle coffee flavor, with great hot chocolate flavor accented by crushed peppermint candy canes. A great way to use up those holiday candy canes that never seem to get eaten.

Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup milk, divided
  • 1/2 cup half and half

Directions:
  1. In a small saucepan whisk together 2 tablespoons milk, cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons crushed candy cane.
