Recipe Box, Peppermint White Hot Chocolate and White Chocolate Peppermint Treats
The featured flavor on the December Paint Bucket
{my monthly bucket list of recipe inspirations}
is White Chocolate Peppermint,
perfect for dreaming of sugar plum fairies,
Santa Claus, sparkly trees and a snowy white Christmas!
Let’s start with a steaming mug of hot chocolate,
topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup…
Or even better, a mug of Peppermint White Hot Chocolate
with a mound of whipped cream
sprinkled with white chocolate peppermint bark!
You can make this cozy comfy treat in under 5 minutes with only 5 ingredients 👏
Whipped cream, milk, white chocolate, peppermint bark or peppermint candies
Peppermint extract {not pictured}
Put 1 cup of milk {I used 2%} into a microwavable cup,
add white chocolate and extract {optional},
cook for 2 minutes on high, stir,
top with whipped cream {I used light}
garnish with chopped candy and enjoy!

Mmmnnn, sounds so good. I need to get some of the Ghirardelli peppermint bark also. I just set up my cocoa area on our antique dry sink in the dinning room. Almost done decking the halls, just a bit more to go, whew! Thanks Jenna!
What fun to have a Cocoa bar! I am decked out 😂 spent the weekend decorating and had a LOT of help from one of my grandsons, he insisted on getting everything out {it’s clutter city!!} So I am going to do some decluttering while he’s at school today 😂
I love peppermint — you know I’ll be following these carefully!

All delicious Jenna! It’s hot chocolate weather! ♥
