With the temperature barely getting into the 50s now, �hot chocolate season� is upon us. Just thought I�d share our favorite recipe:
1 packet hot chocolate mix
3/4 cup warm milk
2 cap-fulls Peppermint Schnapps
Marshmallows

If you�re concerned about the alcohol content, get the 60-proof version instead of the 100-proof. You�re not adding much of it anyway, but really, you�re after the lovely (and ultra smooth) peppermint taste, not a buzz. Yes, you could use peppermint flavoring, but it just doesn�t taste as good as the Schnapps does � the flavoring tends to have a bit of a bite to it, and most flavorings do have alcohol in them anyway (although it�s a pretty insignificant amount).

As I�m typing this, I�ve got some chocolate walnut cookies in the oven and John is heating up the fireplace. I really love fall and winter! :)
