Hot cocoa is in season! It’s all the rage right now. In fact, one of the most popular recipes on our site is for a frugal, bulk, homemade, classic hot cocoa powdered mix that you can then turn into instant hot cocoa. It is one of the top recipes found on our site.

Well today, we want to share another take on hot cocoa that is entirely different! It can still be frugal as it uses common ingredients that are decently affordable, but this recipe is made fresh and makes for a super creamy, incredibly rich and tasty hot cocoa journey! Stovetop Peppermint White Chocolate Hot Cocoa! 

I know, just the name and though of it alone makes my mouth water….so I am sure your’s is too. This is a show-stopping version of hot cocoa! In fact, it’s a magical type of recipe because as soon as I smell it and start drinking it…Jingle Bells plays in my head and I can’t stop it! Then I am fueled up and ready to “build a snowman.”  It’s that much of an impactful recipe!

It’s perfect for gatherings, holidays, post-sledding/skiing, parties, dinners, kids events… you name, there is never a time in the winter that this wouldn’t be a hit!
