Creamy Peppermint Hot Chocolate recipe for 2!  This recipe uses milk, peppermint mocha, chocolate chips, cocoa powder and more!

Peppermint Hot Chocolate

I know it’s only early November but I’m already in the holiday spirit.   The Halloween directions are still up but they will soon be replaced with snowmen and penguins.  The aisles of the stores are slowly starting to fill up with colorful holiday lights and ornaments.  Soon we’ll be smelling fresh pine (after we begrudgingly carry the tree home), the cats stockings will be hung and I will start to hum Christmas songs while baking cookies.   I love this time of the year, don’t you?

Peppermint Hot Chocolate

What’s another reason why I love this time of the year?  Seasonal products are out and recipes  are ready to be made.   One of my favorites is Coffee-mate’s Peppermint Mocha Creamer!

When I saw it in the grocery store I screamed in excitement and told Matthew quickly, and then I continued talking to him crazily to only turn around and realize I was talking to a much older gentleman who was confused. I apologized quickly, found Matthew and glared at him, and then continued to discuss this Peppermint Mocha and all the ways I planned on using it.

What’s one of my favorite Winter time drinks? Hot chocolate of course! I can drink hot chocolate all day long to be honest, but that would leave me napping all day, so I like to save it for when we come in after a cold day or for dessert.    As soon as I brought home the Peppermint Mocha I gathered the supplies and hot chocolate was made!  We clinked glasses, sipped our hot chocolates and stared at each other nodding.  You know the nod, it’s one of those “Oh yeah, this is good.  Oh yeah, let’s just cherish this moment.”. 

Let’s all say a sweet hello to Creamy Peppermint Hot Chocolate.  Enjoy!

    This is some serious hot chocolate! I have to try all those creamer flavors, they sound like they would make coffee truly divine. This hot chocolate looks so creamy and rich! Mmmm, perfect for winter mornings. I have a feeling this would make every morning decadent!

    Is it weird that I’m not a big big fan of peppermint..I like to just chew on it but not in my desserts, but hey, my hubby loves it and this looks like a great idea for christmas parties.

      One great thing about this hot chocolate is the peppermint is definitely not overwhelming (or you can make it so by adding more), but still has that yummy fresh smell! Hope your husband likes it!

    I’ve used Coffee-Mate’s creamers in cupcakes before and they were wonderful! My family and I are big fans of that peppermint mocha. I really want to try the dark chocolate fudge, though!

    We might be food-soul-mates. I saw the eggnog creamer at Target yesterday and squeed with delight until I realized I couldnt find Josh and he was hiding all the way across the store, pretending he didn’t even know me. I’m obsessed with hot chocolate, so I know this will make it into my wintertime rotation 🙂

    Holiday beverages are one of my favorite parts of this time of year, too! Especially love anything peppermint flavored. I’ve never tried that flavor of coffeemate, though. I’ll definitely have to give it a spin.

    BTW, I haven’t taken down our Halloween decorations, either. I’m hoping to hold out until this weekend : )

      Hope you try it Jamie, I also enjoyed it in my tea yesterday. 🙂

      It hurts me to take down the Halloween decorations because they are too darn cute. Maybe I should try a Christmas/Halloween mixture this year! 😉

    When I think of Christmas, my first thoughts are of gingerbread and the peppermint chocolate combo. This looks delicious — you’ve gotten me in the holiday spirit!

    Peppermint hot chocolate is one of my favorites. I make it every year when my husband and I drive around the neighborhood to look at all the Christmas light displays. Looks really festive!
