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!  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.

    This looks delicious, Leigh Anne! Every year I get anxious around this time, hoping my mother will send a few boxes of Girl Scout cookies in the mail. Sadly, Costa Rica’s version of scouts do no cookie sales whatsoever. Definitely something I should recommend! 🙂 Thanks for sharing your recipe.

    My oldest daughter’s favorite GS cookies are Thin Mints, but we’ve recently had to go gluten free and dairy free at home so Thin Mints are out this year. I made this as a surprise for her tonight and she LOVED it and said it tastes like hot Thin Mints! (I used organic sugar and unsweetened soy milk.) Our entire family agreed this was by far the BEST dairy-free hot chocolate we’ve had yet. Seriously amazing stuff, thank you so much for this recipe! I pinned it and know we’ll make it over and over again 🙂

      I am so glad your daughter loved it. I have a daughter that is gluten free and dairy free too and it always makes me so happy when I can make something that she loves and can eat!

    This looks so good. My mom was a Girl Scout Leader and chaired our cookie drive. That could have been our living room.
