Ive been so cold lately and was searching for something minty and chocolatey. This one from a local news show warms you from the inside out and rivals a hot chocolate that I once had in Austria. Yummy! Makes 2 large portions or 4 normal sized ones.
Ingredients:
-
3 ounces
milk chocolate
, chopped
(or semisweet)
-
¼ cup
water
-
3 cups
whole milk
-
¼ cup
peppermint syrup
(I found by the ice cream toppings)
-
2 cups
whipped cream
-
¼ cup
crushed
peppermint candy
(optional)
-
¼ cup
cocoa powder
(optional)
Directions:
1
Place chocolate and water in a saucepan over low heat.
2
Stir constantly.
3
Once the chocolate has fully melted, gradually add milk.
4
Bring mixture to an even heat.
5
Transfer hot mixture to a blender and add syrup.
6
Cover the top with a towel to avoid spilling and coming in contact with hot liquid.
7
Blend for 15 to 20 seconds until frothy. Pour into mugs.
8
Top with whipped cream.
9
Garnish whipped cream with crushed peppermint and/or cocoa powder.
