Blogmas Day 2: Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Hey Everyone!

So, today for blogmas I want to do a recipe on peppermint hot chocolate! I have become obsessed with peppermint hot chocolate from Starbucks (I have yet to try the white peppermint mocha, maybe I will this weekend!). So, I wanted to make my own today, here is how you make it!

What you are gonna need:

- peppermint candy canes

- hot chocolate mix

- milk (or water)

- whip cream 

- a cute Christmas mug! 

How to make it:

- put the milk or water in your mug and put it in the microwave for 2 minutes

- while it is in the microwave take your candy cane and a large spoon and hit it until it is crushed 

- get your mug from the microwave and put the crushed candy cane in it and 2 spoon fulls of hot chocolate mix (how much you use is really up to you, I prefer 1 candy cane and 3 spoons of coco)

- stir until all of the candy cane pieces have melted 

- add whip cream and its ready to enjoy! 

Make it a present!

You can always turn this into a present. Either get a fun holiday mug and fill it with the ingredients (obviously only the peppermint and hot coco mix) or get a jar and decorate it! :)   

That is my peppermint hot chocolate recipe, let me know what you think in the comments! Also check out my other blog post on how to make hot chocolate! I will talk to you guys tomorrow! 

What is your favourite holiday drink?

It is fake, but my Aunt's is real and I am usually there for Christmas anyway.

I actually don't have one, no lie. I sorta want one though :) 

What would be the dream place to visit for this holiday season?

When I was a kid I really wanted this toy dog and one year I found it under the tree and it made me really happy :) I still have it!

My friends told me.

Do you make New Years Revolutions? Do you stick to them?

Nope, I don't really bother making them because I know I won't stick to them.

What makes the holidays special for you?

Just everyone being happy. I also like to help out with the community during the holiday. Also the snow, hanging out with friends, Christmas shopping, decorating, baking, skating, ect. :)
