I blame Pinterest for the stress factor that goes into gift giving now – everything on there looks so incredibly perfect that it’s impossible to come up with something that seems good enough! Oh well, peppermint hot chocolate mix! Everyone likes that right? I’ll throw in some biscotti too, just in case. And then you never really know if they like what you give them. So hopefully the teachers like it! Does anyone else stress about what to give? I never know. I made regular hot chocolate mix last year, so this year I decided to make it into a peppermint hot chocolate mix. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the chopped chocolate, whisk well until the chocolate is completely melted. Place over medium-heat and cook just until the mixture comes to a boil. I made this mix last year for Christmas teacher gifts and had rave reviews, so when I started my usual what on earth do I give to the teachers stressing, I decided to just do basically the same thing again. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, and salt. Add cocoa powder and chopped peppermint bark. To make peppermint hot cocoa, add 1/3 cup of mix in a mug, stir in 1 cup warm milk, add peppermint extract (to taste), and toppings of your choice. Store in airtight container or jar for up to 3 months. Whisk in granulated sugar until well combined. And you can mix it with either hot water or milk – it mixes well with either and tastes great. Instructions In a crock pot set on low, combine sweetened condensed milk and 2 milk. Sift instant dry milk on top of powdered sugar. It makes about 20 full servings, but if you, like me, are making mini cups for kids, there’s more than that. Over medium heat, stir constantly until the mixture boils. It takes about 5 minutes to make and you have a ton of mix. Combine the cocoa, sugar, water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bold statement I know, but really, it is. This is hands down the best hot chocolate mix I’ve ever had.
