Hi guys – it’s Lily!!
Guess where I’m at??
ARIZONA!! AT MY GRANDMA’S HOUSE!! We’re making fun crafts and playing with cousins – I’m loving it!!
Guess what I did this morning? I got baptized! It’s something we do in our church when we turn 8. It was a really special day. A lot of my family came to see it, even my old neighbor from across the street, (when we used to live here) Mercedes!
We get to spend Thanksgiving here and will spend Christmas back in Texas. Speaking of Christmas, we made this delicious dessert/drink. It’s called Mint White Hot Cocoa. If you like mint and white chocolate and hot cocoa – you’ll LOVE this!! It’s so good and will keep you warm on a cold, winter day. š
Here’s the recipe:
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups half & half
- ½ bag white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp. peppermint extract
- few drops of green food coloring
- Crushed Andes mints and Whipped Cream for garnish
- In a large pot, add milk, half & half and heat over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
- Add white chocolate chips and stir until completely melted.
- Add extract and food coloring. Stir well.
- Top with Whipped CreamĀ and Andes. Serve warm.
Check out that Whipped Cream!!!
You know what’s great about this recipe? You can bring this when you’re Christmas Caroling and can bring some for everyone and they’ll love you. It will keep them warm and their throats ready to sing. š It’s also great for Christmas parties!!
I hope you can come back again soon for more yummy treats from me.
Love, Lily

Happy Baptisim Lily. It’s a wonderful thing to do in one’s life. Your hot chocolate looks so good. I wish you and your family a Very Happy Thanksgiving.
Hi Lily, I feel it works better if you use baking cocoa instead of the cocoa mix. It comes out perfect with 1/4 cup of dark cocoa powder in place of hot cocoa mix. It came out really well!
Thanks a lot for sharing this awesome recipe.
Any idea if this could be made in a slow-cooker/what temperature/time it should be on if it was?
Oh no! I swear you’re trying to torture me as this looks fantastic and just what you need after a hard days work.

I haven’t seen many recipes with mint lately, so this one stands out to me! I love the use of mint in hot cocoa, its really strong and yummy. Great idea!
