Lower-Sugar Boozy Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Picture this: it’s a frigid day in the middle of winter. You’re craving something warm, comforting, and cozy, but you don’t want to send your blood sugar into the stratosphere or sabotage your health goals.

 

Does such a drink even exist?

 

Great news: the answer is yes.

 

When the weather outside is frightful, it’s the perfect time to cozy up inside with something delightful. Our Boozy Peppermint Hot Chocolate is the perfect choice. Warm, comforting, decadent, festive, and just a little boozy, this winter drink hits all the right notes.

 

Bonus points? The dark cocoa drink mix is totally, wonderfully, guiltlessly sugar-free, so you can feel good about whipping up these yummy drinks. 

 

Mix one for yourself as an afternoon pick-me-up after a long day of skiing or snowshoeing, or serve them as an after-meal treat during your next dinner party. If you’re preparing these for a large group, use an insulated pitcher to make them in bulk and keep the mixture warm for serving.
