Peppermint Spiked Hot ChocolatePosted Dec 31st 2005 10:52AM by Nicole WestonFiled under: Dessert, Chocolate, Recipes, Candy, Cocktails, How ToNew
Year's Eve, coming right in the middle of winter (for most of us) as well as in the middle of the night, is not always
the warmest occasion. There is the body heat of standing in Times Square with thousands upon thousands of other people,
but there's no denying the fact that near freezing temperatures and a combination of rain and snow are less than
pleasant to be out in. A warm drink is perfectly suited for the occasion. In fact, this combination of peppermint
and hot chocolate is warming, chocolatey and almost refreshing. If you don't want to use schnapps, add about a half
teaspoon of peppermint extract. Don't forget a peppermint stick or candy cane as garnish and a marshmallow or two!
