Yield 1 serving(s)

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

Steps:

  • Chop the peppermint patties into small pieces and combine all ingredients in a pan.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • If you don't have peppermint extract, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint oil instead. Just be sure to add it to the cocoa mixture very slowly, as it is very concentrated.
  • 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.
