Andes Spiked Hot Chocolate – This spiked hot chocolate is one of the best holiday drinks! Hot chocolate spiked with Peppermint Schnapps and topped with whipped cream!
Who doesn’t look for variations of hot chocolate when the weather starts to get super chilly? Here in Phoenix, it just started to cool down (crazy – right?!).
Our mornings are in the 30’s/40’s and I’m freezing my tail off unwilling to leave the house for fear that I have to deal with the cold. Break out the hot chocolate and stay inside – you won’t want to leave once you whip up this recipe for Andes Spiked Hot Chocolate!
Andes Spiked Hot Chocolate
This Andes Hot Chocolate combines the best of everything – Andes mints, hot chocolate, peppermint schnapps and whip cream. Have you ever tried Andes mints? Andes mints bring back memories for me as a kid. My mom used to buy box upon box at the holidays and put them under the tree.
I remember one Sunday afternoon, my brothers and I opened up every box and decided we’d finish them off. Not just one or two, but every. Single. Box.
Don’t ever do that. Just don’t ever do it.
She found us, hiding behind the sofa with empty boxes of mints… It wasn’t long after, we were throwing up for hours. And hours. And I swore on my life I would never touch an Andes mint (or anything mint!) ever again.
It has taken me 30 years to get to the point of even considering even touching Andes mints… so that says something!
