Has anyone tried the new McDonalds mint hot cocoa? VERY yummy. Unfortunately I really don’t like paying $2.50 for a cup of hot cocoa that I can make much cheaper. Want to know how? I was able to duplicate the taste very quickly and easily.
The secret? Add 1 drop of pure peppermint oil mixed in your hot cocoa and it’s perfect! We did find that if you let the cocoa cool just a bit the peppermint taste is much better.
So, go to Walmart, spent less than $2.00 on a bottle of peppermint by LorAnn and you’re all set. Want to experiment? Try the Cinnamon or Creme de Menthe. Those are very yummy too!
Enjoy!
BTW… if you like peppermint patties, try our own homemade peppermint patties. You’ll definitely feel the cool after eating just 1 of these! (Even yummier than the hot cocoa!… LOL) www.kandiesforyou.com
