Peppermint Mocha Mix

 

Peppermint mocha topped with whipped cream and chocolate

During the holidays all the coffee shops sell the perfect warm concoction that just oozes the taste of Christmas. The first time a Peppermint Mocha every passed my lips it was like the skies opened up and I heard angels sing ..I WAS HOOKED!! These coffee shop beverages are so good but not too friendly to the pocket book.  When I was coming up with this I wanted something that was everyday affordable and easy.

Christmas is the season for sharing , so this put in a pretty container or bag would be perfect for gift giving. If you want to go all out pair it with my Peppermint Mocha Cookies  in a basket, the perfect holiday gift. The beauty of this mix is enjoying a peppermint mocha in your PJ’s and never having to leave your house.

 

This is really easy to throw together and the only tool that will make your life easier is a food processor. Start by unwrapping 30 mints and putting them in the food processor and blend them until they are ground to a fine dust. Empty the ground peppermint into a bowl and set aside.
