How to make peppermint hot chocolate:

  • Hot cocoa mix: You can use any brand of powdered cocoa mix, I happened to have swiss miss hot cocoa on hand.
  • Whipped cream: I used reddi whip whip cream, but if you wanted to add a homemade feel to this drink you could whip up your own homemade whipped cream with chocolate sprinkles.
  • Milk: I used coffeemate vanilla coffee creamer in my hot chocolate, but you can make it with oat milk or soy milk.
  • Monin peppermint syrup: If you haven’t used Monin syrup before you are in for a treat. You can order them on amazon and they add a gourmet flavor to drinks and recipes.

Can I make hot cocoa bombs with Monin peppermint syrup?

Yes! You can easily make peppermint hot chocolate bombs with just a few simple ingredients. Melt milk chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and fill the inside of the round molds. I used silicone mold for hot chocolate molds from Amazon with melted chocolate. When dry, fill a half ball with hot cocoa powder, a few drops of peppermint syrup, and mini marshmallows. Seal with melted chocolate and drop into a cup of hot milk, stir and enjoy! Check out our hot chocolate bomb recipe!
