PEPPERMINT HOT CHOCOLATE
I hope all of you had a great weekend!
Mine sure was busy and fun with my family. We are enjoying the countdown and opening our Advent Calendar notes each day with the kiddos. This weekend we went so see some awesomely decorated houses in the neighborhood, and we also made some OH SO YUMMY peppermint hot chocolate.
We sure needed it, the weather got super cold by Sunday afternoon.
This warm pleasing hot chocolate was heaven.
The best thing was actually when we figured we need some hot drink and found this recipe. I dig my pantry and found everything at home to make this super delish hot chocolate.
YAY!
Don’t you love when you have what you need and no need to drop to the store?

This is a great recipe, perfect for Christmas tree decorating, gift wrapping nights.
One cup of this HOT chocolate will leave you completely satisfied.
How about giving this perfect HOT chocolate as a gift?
Put ingredients to a small mason jar and print out this cute tag with it.
You have the option to write how many cups of milk to add, in case you want to half the portion.
