Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups milk of choice
  • 5 oz white chocolate chips or bar cut into pieces
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
  • 2 oz Godiva white chocolate liqueur
  • 1 oz peppermint schnapps
  • mini marshmallows (optional)
  • crushed candy cane (optional)

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine milk of choice and white chocolate. If you are using a bar of white chocolate, chop it into smaller pieces before adding to the saucepan. 
  • Continuously whisk mixture as it heats up, ensuring the milk or chocolate does not burn on the bottom. Once the white chocolate has completely melted and small bubbles start to surface, remove the pan from the heat.
  • Add peppermint extract, Godiva white chocolate liqueur and peppermint schnapps. If you want some froth in your drink, vigorously whisk mixture for 15-20 seconds before pouring into your mug. 
  • Top the spiked peppermint white hot chocolate with marshmallows, whipped cream, crushed candy cane or any combination of the three.
