Peppermint White Hot Chocolate (Spiked and Non Spiked Versions)

Spiked or Non Spiked Peppermint Hot White Chocolate! This hot white chocolate is flavored with either peppermint vodka for an alcoholic version or peppermint extract for a non-alcoholic version, is super creamy and topped with whipped cream, crushed candy canes, and mini marshmallows. It’s a great seasonal drink that’s so easy to make and perfect to cozy up with by the fireplace!

My children love hot chocolate and always request it on snowy days, especially if they just got done playing outside in the snow. This peppermint hot white chocolate is such an awesome way to switch things up and it feels like the holidays in a cup!

Peppermint Hot White Chocolate

*Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

Adult’s Version

  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 4 to 6 ounces peppermint vodka

Kid’s Version

  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 3 tsp peppermint extract

*Note: You can also make the base for the hot white chocolate with 4 cups whole milk and 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. Then add vodka or peppermint extract to everyone’s individual cups. If doing this – add 1 1/2 ounces peppermint vodka to one mug for an adult beverage OR 1/2 to 1 tsp peppermint extract to one mug for a non-alcoholic beverage. This works great for families!

Instructions

  • In a sauce pan over medium low heat, pour milk and white chocolate chips. Whisk occasionally to help melt the white chocolate into the milk. Once the white chocolate is completely melted and incorporated into the milk transfer to a tea pot or container with a spout. Add in the vodka or peppermint extract. Stir again and serve with whipped cream, crushed candy canes, whole candy canes and mini marshmallows.
  • See above note* on how to make one pot of hot white chocolate and add the peppermint to individual cups based on preference / making for families

welcome!

Non-Negotiables in My Disney Survival Bag 🎢🎒 Non-Negotiables in My Disney Survival Bag 🎢🎒✨ I’ve not been to Disney World since I was 17, soooo I researched the heck out of what to bring into the parks, watched all the reels, read all the lists and thought it’s be fun to share mine too!

✨ Comment BAG and I’ll send you a link with everything I packed!  You may not use it all, but this list was essential for me. And surprisingly, it didn’t feel that heavy in my crossbody! PLUS I was able to fit my sunglasses case & a water bottle in my bag with no problems!

🎒 What’s in the Bag:
Sunscreen Stick 
Lip Balm
Mini Deodorant
Gum 
Beats 
Medicine Kit – Kids’ Pepto, Tylenol, Kids’ Dramamine, Benadryl for both adults and kids. Hopefully you never need them, but I’m not risking it
Bandaids
Tide To-Go Wipes
Hand Sanitizer + Wipes
Hair Ties / Claw Clip
Portable Fan
Portable Charger
Electrolyte Packets
Protein Snacks
Ponchos
Ziplock Bags

Did I overpack? Maybe. Was I the hero of the day? Absolutely.
