Ingredients
- 1 quart milk (skim, 2 percent or whole) or half-and-half
- 6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped (recommended: Scharffenberger)
- 9 ounces peppermint schnapps
- Whipped cream, for serving
- 6 peppermint sticks, for serving
Directions
Heat 1 cup of the milk in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add chocolate, stirring constantly, until melted. When the chocolate has melted, increase heat to medium and add the remainder of the milk while whisking rapidly. Do not allow to boil.
Serve in small cups fortified with a jigger (1 1/2 ounces) of peppermint schnapps and a dollop of whipped cream. Add a peppermint stick to stir.
If transporting in a thermos, heat thermos up with hot water to get it warm for 1 minute. Pour water out and fill with hot chocolate.

The photo shows green & white striped candy canes.
Peppermint candy canes have red & white stripes around these parts. Green & white are spearmint, a slightly different flavor.

Wow, this is really great stuff. This killer cocoa was a huge hit with our friends. Instead of cow's milk we used soymilk. We will definitely be making this again.
