During the cold winter months, there is nothing like a piping hot mug of creamy hot chocolate to warm you from the inside out. Why make it from a packet when you can make it from scratch. This is one of those easy recipes that also makes a great gift!
I think it’s the white chocolate that takes this recipe over the top. It’s creamy and chocolatey and oh, so good. I also love topping it with one of the star-shaped Peppermint Peeps. They give a nice minty flavor that goes so well with the rich hot chocolate.
I also like to add a few tablespoons of this mix to coffee. It’s a having a fancy coffee house drink at home!
This mix is such an easy recipe to make. It would make a great homemade gift. Just package it up in mason jars or cellophane bags, add a package of peppermint Peeps and you have a homemade tasty gift for family, friends, neighbors or teachers!
