I haven't been feeling very festive this year. I know I'll be feeling the holiday spirit more in a few weeks when I travel home. Until then though, I seem to be missing it. We aren't decorating for the holidays, I didn't do Christmas cards this year, and it's just kind of sad to be glossing by the holidays.
One quick way I'm finding my holiday spirit is in a warm cup of hot chocolate. My in-laws sent some Christmas stuff for the boys. Included in the package was a box of peppermint Peeps. They are VERY peppermint.
So I decided it would be great to use them in hot chocolate.
I placed a peep in the bottom of my mug.
Used my keurig to brew the hot chocolate on top the Peep. It melts from the hot water. And I was left with minty hot chocolate.
If you can't find peppermint Peeps anywhere there is an alternative. I found peppermint mini marshmallows at the grocery store.
I brewed it the same way. The mini marshmallows are a little less minty, but it is still a delicious and warm treat.
Enjoy!

Mmmm, that looks delicious. We haven't tried the hot chocolate k-cups yet. Someone recommended the hot cider ones too. Off to the store I go...
I hope the holiday spirit hits you soon. :)
