by | Dec 4, 2025 | Recipes | 0 comments

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups milk of choice.
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

Directions:

  1. Add milk, pure maple syrup, and cocoa powder in a small pot on the stovetop. Heat over medium to medium-low heat, whisking frequently, until the milk is warmed. (Don’t let your milk come to a boil. We’re just trying to heat it through.)
  2. Add the chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. Whisk until the chocolate chips are melted.
  3. Pour hot chocolate into mugs and top with whipped cream or marshmallows. For extra fun, garnish with candy canes and/or chocolate sprinkles.
  4. Serve immediately.
