Gather round the table and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa and sugar cookies! Need a great cocoa recipe? Try my simple peppermint hot chocolate recipe; I love to whip this up on cold snowy days.

Peppermint Hot Chocolate: (Prep time: 10 minutes)
1 cup whole milk
2 tbsp crushed peppermint candies
5 oz. milk chocolate chopped into small pieces
Whipped cream (for topping)

Combine milk and peppermint in a small sauce pan, heat on low for 4 to 5 minutes until candy dissolves. Add chocolate and stir until chocolate melts. Pour into mug. Top with whipped cream and crushed peppermint candies; serve immediately.

Now here’s a revised recipe for the grown up kids! Must be over 21 to indulge…
