Homemade Mint White Hot Chocolate combines creamy, white chocolate with a burst of peppermint flavor to create a perfect decadent holiday treat.
Mint White Hot Chocolate
During February and March, you can usually find Mr. Gracious at McDonald's for their Shamrock Shakes. I think he's nuts. I mean, sure, they're good. But.. it's snowing... and you're eating ice cream... It makes me want to hop under the covers with a hat and mittens, just thinking about it!
I've found a yummy alternative that won't make your teeth chatter! Mint white hot chocolate has all the creamy, minty goodness of a Shamrock Shake, except it's warm and keeps your tummy toasty and happy!

This sound great and your pictures are amazing! I think I might have had just one of those shakes in my life but I always remember thinking they looked so cool when I was little. I like the warm twist you give it. I just read that New Englanders eat the most ice cream, even in winter, so perhaps Mr. Gracious is a New Englander at heart?

The presentation of this is perfect, love the minty color. The flavor was ok a little too rich and definitely sooo sweet no one drank it. I don't know how you would cut down on the sweetness, be worth trying some variations.

Kids loved it!

Hi! Just wanted to know what half & half is? Want to do it for my daughter 😍
Michelle says
Half and half is sold in the US. It's just a mixture that's half milk and half heavy cream.
