Peppermint White Hot Chocolate Recipe

Merry belated Christmas! I hope everyone had an amazing day! It was surprisingly hot here in the ever sunny state of Florida, which kind of took away from the winter spirit. But I spent most of the day cooking and then rewarded myself with some much needed family time. I made a stuffed french toast breakfast and Peppermint White Hot Chocolate. Then I got right into prepping the dough for cinnamon buns and then started baking the turkey. It was a small turkey and only took three hours, but I was pretty proud of it. 

Actually...earlier that day, more like 12am, I made a bracelet for my niece. I was a very busy bee Christmas day. But check it out, my first handmade bracelet.
