So have you tried the new McDonald's peppermint hot chocolate? I made the mistake and gave in and tried last week Friday, and only because I had a full punch card so I got it free (kind of). It was very good! Tonight I tried to replicate it and I must say I thought it turned out really good although I did not do a side by side taste test.
First, I want to say that I always use chocolate milk to make hot chocolate. Growing up at the truck stop in town our favorite waitress (I think her name or nickname was Bee) would always make it for us this way instead of the powder. We always felt special when she did that.
So, to start I heated some chocolate milk in a mug in the microwave until hot. Then I added 1-2 Tbsp. peppermint flavoring syrup (the kind of stuff you add to your coffees) and stirred. If you were going to do it up like McDonald's you would swirl some whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top. Me, I opted for lots of mini marshmallows.
Yum!!
