How to Make Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Hey everybody!

One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is the cold weather and being able to snuggle up with a piping mug of hot chocolate! I've created a step-by-step instruction on my favorite way to make peppermint hot chocolate!

First, fill up a festive mug with milk*. For this recipe, water won't work.

You can either heat it up on the stove until it's near boiling, or just put it in the microwave on high for 2 minutes.

While your milk is heating up, crush some candy canes or peppermints. I like to stick these mini canes in a plastic bag and roll over it with a rolling pin. That way, they're nice and crushed up.

After your milk is done heating up, get out a jar of Nutella. Put in a generous spoonful (or 2 stingy spoons) of Nutella into the milk along with the crushed peppermint, and stir.

Voilá! You're done! The hot chocolate should be minty, frothy, and delicious! For an added touch, hang a candy cane on the rim!

Hope you enjoyed!

*I see you're using 1% milk. Is it because you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be using whole if you wanted to.

Happy Halloween!

Hey everybody!

Hope you all have had a wonderful Halloween! My brother and I went trick-or-treating, and I must say it was quite the success! We brought in a lot of candy!

I was a dead-zombie-pirate-angry face.

Look at all the amazing candies! Woo!

And that, officially wraps up Blogtober! It's been a wonderful month, and has gone by way too fast! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did!

My Fave Halloween Goodies!

Hey everybody!

My favorite part about Halloween is definitely the wonderful treats and candies! Dressing up is fun, but munching on yummy goodies makes me even happier! Here are a few of my favorite candies from this time of the year:

Candy corn- For years, this incredibly festive candy has been at the top of my Halloween list, mostly because it's most common around Halloween! They're so sweet, it only takes a few to satisfy my sweet tooth!

Snickers/Twix/M&Ms- Other than candy corn, I love receiving anything chocolatey while trick-or-treating! I'm definitely more of a chocolate lover than a hard-candy sort of person.

Halloween cookies- These cookies usually don't taste much different than other cookies, except they're in all sort of shapes and designs, from the traditional pumpkin, to witches and goblins.

Pumpkin Spice Latte- This is released at Starbucks during the holiday season, and it's absolutely delicious! In my opinion, it is by far the best flavor out of all the seasonal drinks!

Hope you all enjoyed! Until next time,
<3 Lucero
