Hot chocolate is a go-to warm-up beverage when the temperature drops. For a fun spin on a classic winter holiday drink, sip on this delicious peppermint white hot chocolate, with homemade whipped cream!

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup of heavy cream

• 1 teaspoon crushed peppermint candies

• 5 1/2 cups of milk

• 12 ounces white baking chocolate

• 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

• Mini marshmallows for garnish

• Crushed peppermint candies for garnish

Tools Needed

Directions

1. First, make the whipped cream. In a small bowl, whisk the cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold in the crushed peppermint candy pieces.
