Peppermint White Hot Chocolate Recipe + Peppermint Board
Drinking hot chocolate is pretty much a foregone conclusion during the winter months.
Here in the Midwest, you’re not doing winter right if there’s no hot chocolate in your mug.
But you don’t have to drink the same milk or hot chocolate. We are here to tell you that you have options.
And when you serve up our Peppermint White Hot Chocolate with our Peppermint-themed Board, you may forget about your worries, if only for a little while.
And that’s perfectly okay, since the holidays are all about living in the moment and indulging in good cheer!

What You Will Need
Milk. Almost any kind of milk will do when it comes to hot chocolate. So go ahead and heat whole cow’s milk or plant-based milk, such as almond, oat, soy, or cashew milk.
Heavy Cream. Of course, heavy cream is 100% optional, but if you love rich and super creamy hot chocolate, heavy cream is the way to go.
White Chocolate. I used and highly recommend chocolate chips for this decadent white hot chocolate, and it turned out pretty good.
Pure Vanilla Extract. Want to take your next white hot chocolate to the next level? Add a little bit of pure vanilla extract or scrape the paste from a vanilla bean pod. We’re talking about something wonderful!
Crushed Candy Cane: Adding crushed candy cane to the rim of the mug you’re serving the hot chocolate is an easy and whimsical way to add a bit of much-needed holiday spirit.
