This was super yummy! Great sweet drink on a Christmas morning! I didn't make the homemade whip cream. Just used canned real whip cream with crushed candy canes on top.

Oh, Yum. This is delectably creamy and so full of peppermint taste that I could not resist a second....and yes, a third, mug of this oh so good hot chocolate drink. I will make this often. Thanks for sharing your recipe, morgan. Made for Spring 2009 Pick-A-Chef.

I have four kiddos who exclaimed "This is the BEST hot chocolate ever"! It is indeed very tasty but it is one you will want to make when you are craving something very sweet. It is like sipping Peppermint Bark...one of my favorite goodies on the Christmas goodies tray :o) Thanks so much for sharing your recipe it is a definite keeper. Made and reviewed for My-3-Chefs 08
