Peppermint Hot Cocoa with Lindsay


Hey Cougars, It’s Lindsay, your Commissioner of Philanthropy and Environmental Affairs! Since it’s getting chilly outside, I will be teaching you how to make mouthwatering peppermint hot chocolate. First of all, you will need the following ingredients:
·       1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
·       1 quart milk
·       1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (3 ounces)
·       7 peppermint sticks; 3 crushed (1/4 cup), 4 left whole
·       A pinch of salt
The directions are to place cocoa in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk until cocoa has dissolved. Add chocolate chips and the crushed peppermint; simmer over medium heat, and stir every once in a while until chocolate and peppermint have melted. This should take 8 to 10 minutes. The next step is to bring to a boil remove from the heat right away. Add salt if you would like, and pour into your favorite mugs. Top it off with some candy canes and whipped cream, and serve your four friends!
