Creamy Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Serves 2
Ingredients
| 2 | cups 2% milk (use whole milk if you want it richer) |
| 5 | ounces dark chocolate (about 60% cocoa or higher), very finely chopped |
| 1 | tablespoon light brown sugar |
| 2 or 3 | drops Peppermint extract |
| 1 | pinch salt |
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan over medium heat bring the milk to a simmer and stir occasionally until steaming, but not boiling. About 10 minutes.

Naptime Notes
Naptime Recipe Serving ideas
For regular hot chocolate simply omit the peppermint extract. You can also experiment with the chocolate and sugar amounts. For a more bitter chocolate only add two teaspoons of sugar, or even less. For a milder hot chocolate use a milkier chocolate bar instead. You can even try this with white chocolate! For mommy’s little helper use Peppermint Schnapps instead of extract. (I won’t tell anyone!)
