Preparation

Step 1

Combine the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate and white chocolate chips, peppermint extract, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking often, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 4 min.

Set out two small plates. Pour a thin layer af water on one, and spread green sanding sugar on the other. Dip the rim of each mug into the water, then into the sugar.

Divide the hot chocolate among 4 mugs. Top each mug with whipped cream, mint candies, and a sprinkle of green sanding sugar. Serve each with a candy cane.
