I'm in love with mint and chocolate right now. This happens to me every winter. Last year I was introduced to Starbuck's Peppermint mocha. Yummmmm! For whatever reason I usually don't crave warm coffee drinks during the day. It's night time when I'm in the mood for one. And, wouldn't you know it, that's the time of day when it's the least convenient for me to swing through my local coffee place to get one. So, I'm experi-minting (har, har. I had to) with making mine own at home. Now, keep in mind, I do not have an espresso machine, so this doesn't taste quite as good as a nice, fluffy latte, but it'll do in a pinch. I've been making mine with decaf. If I drink caffeine after, say 2pm, I'd be up all night. But, if you want to make yours caffienated, go for it! I have a tiny coffee pot (makes 4 cups), so these measurements are created with my coffee pot in mind.
Decaf coffee
1 packet your fav hot cocoa (Coldstone creamery's 70 cal packs are yummy)
1-2 peppermint patties or one miniature candy cane (I suppose you could use mint extract too)
1 packet Splenda
Brew your coffee. Pour cocoa into cup. Mix coffee and cocoa. Drop in your peppermint. Stir and enjoy.
