Peppermint White Hot Chocolate

All you need are a few minutes and a few ingredients to make it.  So if you love hot chocolate, I highly recommend giving it a try.  It will definitely help keep you warm all season long. 

This peppermint white hot chocolate recipe is simple to make, and perfectly sweetened with peppermint.

Peppermint White Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:
4 cups of milk 
8 oz. white chocolate, chopped into small pieces (or white chocolate chips)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (or more/less to taste)

Optional toppings: whipped cream, crushed peppermints, marshmallows

Directions:
Stir the milk and chopped white chocolate together in a medium saucepan.  Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer and the chocolate is melted.  (Do not let it come to a boil or let the chocolate burn on the bottom.)  Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and peppermint extract.

Serve warm, with optional toppings if desired. Rum also adds a whole nother layer of flavor.
