This homemade peppermint white chocolate mocha is one of my favorite holiday drinks! It’s so easy to make too!
One way to tell the holidays are right around the corner is when the coffee shops start announcing the comeback of their seasonal flavored lattes.
Oh yes.
You know the ones I’m talking about.
Unlucky for me, the closest Starbucks is a good 20-30 minutes away depending on the traffic.
So what’s a Venti double shot {anything} addict to do? Learn to make my own of course!
One of my seasonal favorites is none other than the peppermint white mocha, and today I’m going to show you just how easy it is to make…
- Ingredients:
- mocha coffee
- milk (I use low fat, but whatever your preference)
- white chocolate peppermint candies
- whipped cream
- cute holiday mug
-First make your coffee
-In a microwave safe measuring cup, microwave 1/2 cup of milk for 30-45 seconds on high
-Carefully remove the milk and add 2 heaping tablespoons of your white chocolate candy to it (I’m using Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips)
-Stir the candy and milk together until chocolate has melted
-Add milk mixture to coffee
-Top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with more white chocolate peppermint candies
And that’s it!
So until a certain coffee shop opens closer to me..ahem ahem…Starbucks…
I’ll be enjoying my homemade version, and now you can too!
Enjoy!

Oh, I love this season and I love peppermint hot chocolate. I’ll have to try your white chocolate mocha recipe. It looks absolutely delicious! And Starbucks is a good 30 minutes away from me, so the homemade version it will be. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
mmm peppermint hot chocolate….enjoy! xo
Hello Christine
I just had to stop by and comment on your post, I love that little penguin mug – sooo cute!! I will have to track one down, it would make an excellent stocking filler (maybe minus the Mocha!!) where did you get it from? can I get it from a online shop as I am all the way in England? Thanks 🙂 X
I bought it from Walmart. You could check to see if it’s online but the shipping might be super expensive. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I love this idea! I have enjoyed a few peppermint mocha lattes this week and it would be nice to do a lower fat version at home. I look forward to trying it!
Great Heather! Let me know how you like it! XO
Same here! Even though I live in Chicago, the nearest Starbucks is 20 minutes from me!
Your penguin mug is what caught my eye. Where did you get it?
Wow! You’d think in Chicago they would have one at EVERY corner! Crazy I tell ya… The penguin mug is from Walmart believe it or not. It was the very last one at mine, so hopefully they have more near you! Thanks for popping over! XO
Mmmm I do love my coffee so must give this a try. Also love the little penguin cup…so cute!
Thanks so much! Enjoy!
