Peppermint Schnapps Hot Chocolate

This peppermint schnapps hot chocolate is perfectly boozy, minty, and chocolatey! So delicious!

Servings 1

1 cup Whole milk or dairy-free milk
1 Tablespoon Granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon Cocoa powder
2 Tablespoons Milk chocolate chips or a milk chocolate bar cut into small chunks
1/4 tsp Peppermint extract Optional, but recommended
1 oz Peppermint Schnapps 1 shot glass
1 whole Candy cane optional
Whipped cream Optional

In a small pot, heat up milk, cocoa powder, and sugar on medium-low heat. Gently stir constantly until the cocoa powder and sugar have dissolved. About 3-5 minutes.
Add in chocolate chunks and continue to stir until all the chocolate has melted. Be sure to scrape the chocolate off the bottom of the pot so it all gets incorporated.
Pour into a mug and add your shot of peppermint schnapps and peppermint extract. Stir with a candy cane for extra minty flavor.
Top with whipped cream and crushed up candy cane for extra decoration!
