* 3 1/2 cups milk
* 6 hard peppermint candies, crushed fine
* 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
* 2/3 cup whipping cream

Preparation:
Beat chilled cream with crushed mints until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate for about an hour. Meanwhile, heat milk to a simmer, them mix in chocolate. Whisk until chocolate is melted and smooth. Add mint extract and stir through. Pour into mugs and top with minty whipped cream.
