Happy December, friends. I know things have been quiet around here lately, especially for this time of year. It seems that most of my content lately has been on Instagram, but don't be fooled; the blog is still the Bubby and Bean mothership, and if I have anything to do with it, always will be. We've also been very busy in real life, with our daughter performing in her first ever professional dance show, as a baby mouse in the Nutcracker. That combined with lots of work (mostly over on IG) and guests over Thanksgiving and the same chaotic holiday season the rest of you are likely experiencing as well, and my beloved Bubby and Bean blog as sort of fallen to the wayside. Thankfully I have lots to share here over the upcoming weeks, so keep checking back!
In the meantime, I wanted to share this ridiculously delicious peppermint hot chocolate recipe. You may remember this was last year, but we've given it some updates and just had to share the new and improved version.
Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
4 cups 2% milk (soy or almond milk is also delicious in this recipe!)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup sugar
4 candy canes, crushed
pinch of salt
marshmallows for garnish
candy canes for garnish
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk until hot. Stir in the cocoa powder and sugar, and mix until dissolved. Add chocolate chips and crushed candy canes, reduce heat to low, and mix until dissolved. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until hot chocolate slightly thickens. Pour into mugs, and top each one with marshmallows and a candy cane.
I hope you enjoy this as much as we do. (It's really good with a splash of brandy or rum too, FYI.) Happy holiday sipping!
