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. 🙂
Here’s the recipe:

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.
LOL!! It sure is!! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you give this recipe a try 🙂
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!

Thanks so much!!
Wow! I made enough for a single serving (since I needed something REALLY sweet after a rough day at work) and heated the milk/half and half in the microwave before mixing everything else in. Sooo good. Thanks for the recipe. :3
You are so welcome! That is perfect 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing!
Not only is this delicious but it is beautiful too. Love this combo!
