Yield 1 serving(s)

2 peppermint patties
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • For a thicker hot cocoa, use less milk. For a thinner hot cocoa, use more milk.
  • Top your hot cocoa with whipped cream, marshmallows, or crushed candy canes for a festive touch.
  • If you're using a dairy-free milk, be sure to use one that is fortified with calcium and vitamin D.
