This hot chocolate is so delicious it could substitute as your dessert after dinner. It warms your body and soul with a terrific blend of chocolate, mint, Dulce de Leche, and cinnamon. Topped with marshmallows, this is the perfect treat, on a cold day. Easy enough to prepare a single serving in the microwave or a large pot in a slow cooker for parties and larger gatherings. The peppermint crunch baking chips used in this recipe not only add such an amazing richness and flavor to the hot chocolate but give it a beautiful festive red color. This recipe will make 4 large 10 ounce servings.
