Any idea on how to make it a peppermint hot chocolate?
Carrie says
You could add in crushed peppermints when you are cooking it. That would be delicious!
Gianni says
I think it’s too much water. It’s super liquidy & doesn’t look like syrup at all.
Tastes okay though!

Hello Carrie and the crew!
I do have a trick for this recipe… Instead of preparing with unsweetened cocoa, I simply mix Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate and a packet of Sweet n Low, in a cup of coffee! Way, way, cheaper than Starbucks!
Carrie says
Oh that sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!
