Step 1

Start by combining your milk, cream, peppermint extract, and sugar in a medium saucepan on the stove. Turn the heat onto medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer but don’t boil.

Step 2

While you’re heating the mixture, melt the chocolate in the microwave on 30-second intervals, stirring between each one until fully melted.

Step 3

Once the chocolate is melted, remove the pan with the milk mixture from the heat and add the chocolate to the mixture. Whisk quickly to combine the chocolate with the milk mixture.

Step 4

Pour into individual glasses and serve topped with marshmallows, whipped cream, or even peppermint pieces.
