Add to the festivities with this chocolatey, rich and inexpensive version of a coffeehouse favorite
Somewhere along the line I have made my kids into Starbucks snobs
Cool that I can share my love of trendy coffee beverages but NOT cool because of how expensive trendy coffee beverages can be!!
We fell in love with the seasonal Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate but didn’t want to break the bank so we decided to make our own at home
So here’s our quick & inexpensive version of a coffeehouse favorite
Measure out 2 cups of whole milk, one cup of strong black coffee or espresso, 3 ounces of semi sweet chocolate chips, a couple of candy canes and whipped cream
Put 2 candy canes in a baggie and lightly tap with a meat mallet
Pour the candy canes and milk into a small sauce pot over medium-low heat and whisk until the candy has melted
Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the chocolate chips
Divide the coffee between two mugs and ladle in the hot chocolate mixture
Top with whipped cream, and serve with an additional candy cane and crushed candy if desired
Cheers!
