We know that we say that every holiday is our favorite and yes we do like holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving but we have to say that Christmas is our number one favorite. Just the way that everything becomes just a little bit magical. Corny we know but it’s true.  The way the Christmas lights look around the city. The cold weather just makes you want to take out your favorite sweater and sit on the couch watching all kinds of Christmas movies with a delicious cup of this Peppermint Hot chocolate.

Of course, we can not forget all those delicious treats. Around this time of year, our baking and cooking goes into overload. You would think we were the Kibbler elves by how much cookies and desserts we make around this time. So today we want to share with you one of favorite holiday drinks. This Peppermint Hot Chocolate is creamy and the easiest recipe you will ever make. It is perfect for cuddling up on the couch just looking at the beautiful Christmas tree.

Let’s crank up the Christmas music and get to making some Peppermint Hot Chocolate.

What you will need:

  • Whole Milk. Any milk would work fine but we like the creaminess that whole milk gives this hot chocolate.
  • Heavy Cream.
  • Bittersweet Chocolate. Dark chocolate would be great in this recipe too.
  • Sugar
  • Instant Espresso powder. This will not make the hot chocolate taste like coffee it will just simply complement the bittersweet chocolate.
  • Peppermint Extract. You can’t make this recipe without peppermint extract that would just be madness.
  • Vanilla extract
  • Toppings like whipped cream, marshmallows, or peppermint sticks. These are totally up to you.

After you have whipped yourself a nice warm batch of hot chocolate all that is left to do is pour in into your favorite Christmas mug and enjoy.

Psst...We want to let you in on a little secret. W Psst...We want to let you in on a little secret. We don't actually eat cakes and cookies all day. As much as we would like to. We try to keep a balanced diet as much as possible. With some recent health issues that came up, we have been trying to limit our amount of sugar and processed food to get our health back in shape. Not saying we don't like a good chocolate cookie now and then we don't deprive ourselves of desserts (just limit them). After doing some research on more healthier options we found @noosayoghurt This yogurt is the best tasting yogurt we have ever tried (by the way this is not sponsored). 

They have been a great option for breakfast and lunch for us.
They are so good especially their coconut almond chocolate flavor. And great to just grab out of the refrigerator and start enjoying. What are a couple of ways you add healthier choices to your diet? We are always looking for new ways.
