This Easy Peppermint Hot Chocolate recipe has just two ingredients! Yes, just two ingredients. My shortcut for making a really easy hot chocolate is just warming up chocolate milk. I used to do this all the time when I worked at a bakery/coffee shop. I would bring shelf stable Organic Valley Chocolate Milks into the shop, and then also my own Organic Peppermint Flavor. This way, I could easy drop those two ingredients into my lunch bag and be able to make a warm and cozy drink for my break. All I had to do was steam up my milk and drop a little bit of peppermint flavor in and I had my own Organic Peppermint Hot Chocolate in no time!

So, this recipe for Easy Peppermint Hot Chocolate is just that simple! You only need two ingredients, but if you want to fancy it up with some Homemade Whipped Cream or chocolate shavings, you can do that as well. When the drink itself is so easy to make, then you can take those few extra minutes and whip up some Homemade Whipped Cream.

FAQ's

Can I use peppermint extract?

Yes, but extract is stronger than flavor, so you'd need just like a drop. It may be difficult to get it right and may be too flavorful. That's why I use peppermint flavor here.

Can I make this vegan?

Yes, just use your favorite vegan chocolate milk!
