Peppermint Bark Hot Chocolate

This holiday season, put a festive twist on a classic drink.

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. I love decorating the Christmas tree, baking cookies, singing carols, and gift giving. But most of all I love making holiday drinks, like hot chocolate. It's the quintessential cold weather beverage. However, if you're looking for a drink that's extra festive, make yourself this peppermint bark hot chocolate recipe.

The minty kick of the peppermint mixed with the creamy, decadent chocolate is a match made in heaven. For an even extra dash of holiday flare, add whipped cream and crumbled peppermint bark on top. Each sip hits the spot every time.
