  • Re: Mint Cocoa Mix

    We found this recipe in Country Woman many years ago, and my daughter (10)'s teachers have been enjoying it every year since!

    It's GREAT in coffee! We make a triple batch, and put extra mints. (Instead of 25, we put a whole 250 piece bag in it!)

    Can you imagine the time it takes to open 250 peppermints?? LOL! It's worth every second!
