Peppermint Vodka Hot Chocolate Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the cream, milk, sugar, and salt and heat over medium-low heat. When the cream mixture just begins to steam, add the chopped chocolate, and stir, until melted. Stir in the peppermint oil. Divide the hot chocolate among mugs and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Steps:

• Rim mug with crushed candy canes. Dipping the mug into simple syrup first and then into the candy cane pieces works best.
• Pour Pinnacle® Original Vodka, DeKuyper® Peppermint Schnapps, and hot chocolate into a mug and stir.
• Garnish with whipped cream and sprinkle with candy cane pieces or a cherry.

Steps:

• Whisk together the sugar and cocoa powder in a 6-quart slow cooker. Turn the cooker to high, and slowly whisk in the milk to prevent lumps from forming. Add the vanilla and salt, cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours. The sugar and cocoa powder should be completely dissolved.
• Whisk in the chopped chocolate a little at a time until it is all incorporated. Replace the lid, and cook until thickened, 30 minutes more.
• Turn the cooker to warm, and serve with small bowls of the peppermint candies and mini marshmallows and a small pitcher of schnapps, if using. For minty cocoa, let a few teaspoons of the peppermints melt in an 8-ounce cup or add 2 tablespoons of schnapps.

Steps:

• Just add infused Tito's to your favorite hot chocolate mixture.
