How to Make Your Own Peppermint Hot Cocoa Mix
- 1). Place 40 round red-and-white peppermint candies into a food processor. Pulse the candies until they turn into a powder. If you don't have a food processor, place the candies in a large zip-top bag and hit them with a rolling pin or other large object until they are crushed.
- 2). Pour 3 cups of powdered sugar, 3 cups of coffee creamer powder, 2-1/4 cups of unsweetened cocoa and the powdered peppermint candy into a large bowl. Stir the ingredients with a large spoon until they are completely mixed.
- 3). Spoon the cocoa powder into zip-top bags. Close the bags and store them in a cool, dry place until you're ready to use them or give them as gifts.
- 4). Measure 3 heaping tbsp. into a coffee mug. Fill the mug with simmering hot water. Stir the mixture until all the powder dissolves. Enjoy the peppermint hot cocoa.
