White Hot Chocolate

I hope it’s hot cocoa weather where you are because it’s 80s here. We’ve had 1 day of winter so far and we missed it because we were away on vacation. Maybe in January we will get another day or two of winter.

Thanksgiving came and went, and we are still wearing t-shits. I’ve started decorating for Christmas and had to crank the AC way up to try and get it the holiday mood.

I made some cocoa for kids because nothing puts you in a holiday mood more than Christmas lights and hot chocolate. I wanted to make something new for them instead of the same old cocoa.

Baby girl was visiting and she loves peppermint. I proposed a peppermint white hot chocolate and got a “jumping yay!”

This is a very simple hot chocolate and combination of peppermint and white chocolate is simply divine.

It’s smooth and creamy. This hot cocoa gets it’s smooth, creamy texture from being cooked with peppermint kisses. You can choose to use whole milk, reduced fat, or even fat free milk.

This is a rich holiday drink, so I often use fat free milk.

Don’t add any extra sugar because the drink is already quite sweet.

Get kids to peel the wrappers off the peppermint kisses. It’s tedious but kids do it super fast and it’s fun for them. Plus, they get to earn their sweet drinks.

  7. This looks awesome! But I am a little confused – you have adding the chocolate chips at two points in the recipe. Am I supposed to divide the chips in half, or only add them at the end, or what?

    Thanks for getting me cleared up!

  8. We have had a cocoa tradition in our family for 23 years. Every night at 9pm it’s “cocoa time”. When my daughter was small we would enjoy it while she was in bed but she’s all grown up now and enjoys it with us. This recipe is gonna spice things up for us! Thanks for sharing!

  14. I made this for the Christmas Holiday. I could not find the Hershery’s Peppermint kisses. I used Wilton’s Candy Melts in Peppermint. The Cocca turn out great. I did find Hershery’s Mint Truffles and Made Dark Chocolate Cocca also and both were very delicious.

      Thank you so much, Jewel! So glad you liked it!

  16. So loving this as I have a caffeine allergy! No chocolate or coffee for me!

    My must have drink for winter has been Hot Spicy Apple Cider but I think it’s gonna be replaced! I’ve often thought about using white chocolate but wasn’t sure how that would work out!

    Thanks for the remedy!

    Now if my wife will fix some tea cakes I’ll be a happy camper!!! 🙂
