I promise you will thank me for this one! Every time I make this, I really can't believe how yummy this actually is. It is really that yummy. I got this recipe from someone on the Enrichment Committee in the Pittsburgh 1st ward and I don't know who it is, but bless her and this delish drink. I made it tonight for Bunco and what a perfect night for it. It was 22* on the way home and tomorrow the high is going to be 14*. Yep, the good ole arctic Midwest. Well, at least I have this hot chocolate to drown my sorrows in.1/2 pint chilled whip cream
6 hard peppermint candies, crushed
4 cups milk
8 ounces white chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Add crushed mints to whip cream and beat until stiff peaks form. Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
In a small saucepan, heat milk to a simmer and mix in chocolate. Whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Add peppermint extract.
Pour hot chocolate into mugs and top with mint whipped cream.
Serves 4.
Thank me later.

Yummy! I'm so glad you posted this. It should definitely go on the recipe blog too.
I have that recipe from Pittsburgh as well and it is to die for and a definate crowd pleaser. I love the cold because it gives us a GOOD reason to make yummy hot drinks like the peppermint hot chocolate.
Kelli - Thanks for posting that. Just make sure you have it to take to Wolf Creek - I have an idea it will be plenty cold to make it there! p.s. why do I always have to do word verification on some blogs but not on all? Just Wondering
No, I'll thank you now. I've used your recipe many times, in fact I think Marie Ziegler even included it in one of her real estate newsletters! :)
The blog author decides if commenters need to do the word verification. It cuts down on the number of random people who can leave rude, anonymous comments.
Having to do the word verification is one of Tess's pet peeves, if I remember correctly!
I love that recipe!!! I haven't made it yet this year, but you have inspired me!
MMM... warm memories of good times at the Clarks! I have been planning to make this for all the family on Christmas Eve, but now that you've brought my attention to it today... I may just have to
"practice" with a batch for myself! Love you guys!

I tried this out and we loved it, so we served it at our annual New Year's Eve party. It was a hit! Love it. Thanks for sharing.
This was seriously yummy! It's a great family night treat! :) loved seeing you all. your babies are perfect!
Okay Kelli, mystery solved. The recipe dates back to Laura Shaw. I remember the enrichment planning meeting when she made it for us. I love it, I need to make it.
