Pink Peppermint Hot Chocolate

This 3-ingredient rich and creamy Pink Peppermint Hot Chocolate is basically the yassification of hot chocolate and candy canes.

What is Pink Peppermint Hot Chocolate?

What makes a classic warm mug of hot chocolate more fabulous? Make it pink! All the rich chocolatey goodness of traditional hot chocolate, with a gorgeous pop of pink and the flavor of candy cane peppermint. 

Ingredients for Pink Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Whipping up this hot chocolate is no sweat, all you’ll need are these 3 ingredients:

– White Chocolate: Can’t have hot chocolate without an element of chocolate, opt-in for a high-quality white chocolate bar, melted to add the perfect richness and balance to the peppermint flavor.

– Peppermint Hershey Kisses: More chocolate? Yesss, these Peppermint Hershey Kisses are such an easy way to add peppermint flavor and are the key ingredient to giving this peppermint hot chocolate its pink hue! 

– Milk: Since the two chocolates in this cozy drink will create all the rich and creamy goodness you want, there are no specific milk requirements for this hot chocolate, go for whatever milk you prefer, the milk will help to thin out the thick melted chocolates. 

How to serve hot chocolate

– ALL the toppings! What’s a hot chocolate without toppings? Here are some of my favorite toppings: whipped cream, marshmallows (any shape or size!), crushed candy cane, and full candy cane (inside or hanging on the edge of the glass).

– Use clear glass mugs! The best part of this hot chocolate is its PINK, so you have to show that color, go for a clear glass mug when serving for the ultimate pink experience. 

– Peppermint Rim! Before pouring the hot chocolate into glasses, dip the rim in melted white chocolate and then in crushed candy cane for an extra burst of peppermint.
