Luxurious Peppermint Hot Chocolate Delight

Ingredients

- 3 cups powdered milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 4 candy canes, crushed
- Whipped cream for topping
- 2 tablespoons shaved chocolate

Instructions

1. Create Cocoa Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered milk, powdered sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir until evenly mixed.

2. Prepare Hot Chocolate:
- Place a medium-sized saucepan on the stove over medium heat.
- Measure 1 cup of the prepared cocoa base and add it to the saucepan.
- Pour in 4 cups of water and whisk the mixture continuously to ensure there are no lumps.
- Allow the mixture to heat for about PT5M (5 minutes) or until it reaches a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil.

3. Infuse Peppermint Flavor:

4. Serve and Garnish:
- Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs.
- Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top of the whipped cream.
- Finish with a dusting of shaved chocolate for an indulgent touch.
