Mint Hot Chocolate is creamy, delicious, and full of delicious mint chocolate flavor.
One thing I am unable to say no to? A cute little Girl Scout selling Girl Scout cookies. I was a Brownie and a Girl Scout and my mother was my leader, wasn’t I cute?
Thin Mints are my favorite! Â Hands down, no contest! But eventually they are all gone and I miss the delicious mint chocolate combination. I found a solution. A mug of warm, yummy Mint Hot Chocolate that tastes just like a Thin Mint Cookie. This creamy cup of hot chocolate has just the right amount of mint.
Ingredients Needed
- Cocoa Powder
- Sugar
- Salt
- Vanilla Extract
- Peppermint Extract
- Milk. I use 2 percent.
- Whipped Cream
How to Make Mint Hot Chocolate
- Mix together sugar, cocoa and salt in a pan.
- Add water and mix until dissolved.
- Bring to a boil and cook and stir for about 2 minutes
- Add in milk and extract.
- Cook until hot. Do not allow to boil.
And if you are lucky enough to have a box of Thin Mints around crush up a few to sprinkle on the top and then add a little Thin Mints side car. They are so yummy once they melt a little in the hot chocolate.
