Peppermint Hot Chocolate

A couple of our employees were enjoying hot chocolate when they decided to drop a few Peppermint Snow Mints in their cups. It was an instant classic in the Hickory Farms office!
If you like your hot chocolate very minty, add three or more Peppermint Snow Mints to your cup. For those who like a milder mint flavor, add just a couple of mints to your cup for a cool kick to your drink.
