How to Throw a Winter Fun Snowman Party - Drinks

Your guests will warm right up with minty white chocolate.  To make 10 servings you will need - for the whipped cream: 1 cup whipping cream, 2 T powdered sugar, 1 T unsweetened baking cocoa, and 1 t peppermint extract and for the chocolate drink: 6 cups milk, 3 cups white vanilla baking chips and1/2 t peppermint extract.  Garnish with peppermint candy canes or crushed hard peppermint candies.  (T = tablespoon and t = teaspoon).


The first step is to make the whipped cream. In a clean, chilled small bowl, mix whipping cream, powdered sugar, cocoa and 1/4 t peppermint extract with the electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.  Cover and refrigerate until serving time.

The second step is to make the chocolate drink.  In a 2-quart saucepan heat milk just to simmering over medium-low heat - do not boil.  Reduce heat to low.  Add baby chips, stir constantly with wire whisk until melted and smooth.  Stir in 1/2 t peppermint extract.
