Creamy Peppermint Hot Chocolate

‘Tis the time of year for spending most of our time inside, cuddling up next to a fire, and of course drinking hot chocolate. This creamy peppermint hot chocolate is dessert in a cup! But it doesn’t contain all the dairy and processed sugar that a peppermint hot chocolate from your local coffee shop might have. Grab your favorite book, cozy up by the fire, and sip on peppermint hot chocolate all season long.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup dairy free milk

• 1 1/2 tablespoons cacao powder

• 2 teaspoons honey (or sub maple syrup)

• 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

• 1 scoop collagen peptides (optional)

• 1 candy cane and marshmallows, for topping (optional)

Instructions:

1. Whisk all the ingredients together in a small pot over medium heat until everything has dissolved and is heated through.

2. Pour into your favorite mug and garnish with a candy cane and marshmallows!
