Trader Joe's Peppermint Hot Chocolate

I thought I'd talk about a recent Trader Joe's find instead of rambling on about our vacation, although I will admit...we haven't done as much the last few days as we did the beginning of our vacation and honestly, that is fine by me!

I'm sort of new to the whole peppermint drink thing, and experienced my first spiked peppermint hot cocoa a few weeks back, and let me tell you, I've been bitten. Needless to say, when I saw this at Trader Joe's I had to give it a try...

It's really quite decadent, and I'll admit I can't remember the last time I drank non sugar free hot cocoa!

Real Chocolate Shavings!!

Per the instructions it says to use 3 tbsps, per 6 oz. We only use 2 tbsps per 8 oz. It's really that minty which I guess if you like that is fine but I don't. I like a nice little complement to the hot chocolate.

2 tbsp = 1 oz.

I've also found that using a whisk to whisk in the hot milk makes the hot cocoa super frothy.

Do you like pepper minty drinks?
Have you tried Trader Joe's peppermint hot cocoa, love it? hate it?

Btw.. my Trader Joe's already ran out of the peppermint green tea! so bummed...
