Peppermint 'Hotschnappslate' & Peppermint Hot Chocolate // A Christmas Tradition

Last Christmas we started making this recipe, and there is no going back. We served it at our 'Friendsmas' party and at a family Christmas later as well. 

But let's be honest, it would be good while trimming the tree, wrapping gifts, signing Christmas cards, watching Christmas movies...... 

It is so delicious, a little naughty, and very pretty. - the best part is that it is also easy!

Plus it is simple to make a non-alcoholic version for under-agers, non-imbibers, and those who are expecting as well!

To make a non-alcoholic version, just replace the peppermint Schnapps with a pump or two of peppermint flavored syrup. You can find these at grocery stores by the coffee or soda. World market has a very large selection of flavored syrups. 

You could also add marshmallows, holiday colored sprinkles, etc. - just have fun with it!

No matter how you top your minty hot chocolate I'm sure this treat will make your holiday season more festive.

What is your favorite way to dress up your hot cocoa?
