Hot Chocolate Peppermint Melts

This is the time of year that hot cocoa really shines! These Hot Chocolate Peppermint Melts will really give your drink a kick! Peppermint and chocolate go so well together, why not stir in some creamy peppermint? It’s a much easier way to make Peppermint Hot Chocolate.

Hot Chocolate Peppermint Melts

Originally, I was going to make hot chocolate peppermint stir sticks, but when I saw this snowflake candy mold, I knew I had to make them.

I am always reminded how easy it is to make impressive treats using candy melts and molds. My sunflower Oreos are made like this and look like a professional made them.

These hot chocolate peppermint melts look beautiful on any hot beverage bar. Stir into warm milk, cocoa or even coffee.

So festive and of course they make a great gift. I shared how I used them as a quick homemade holiday gift idea. A simple mug, maybe a packet of hot chocolate mix and a few of these peppermint snowflakes.

Supplies:

Snowflake Silicone Candy Mold
Peppermint Candy Melts
Microwave Safe bowl – I use my 4-cup glass measuring cup.

Pour candy into your glass bowl.
Microwave at 30-second intervals – stirring each time.
Place your snowflake mold on a small cookie sheet or something flat, so it’s easy to transport to the fridge.
Once it’s melted, start spooning into each snowflake section. I give it a gentle shake to make sure the candy fills in all the small pockets.
Place in the refrigerator for 30-min
When they are completely hardened, flip over and push each snowflake out.

I’ve been told you can just place 3 melts into each snowflake and microwave the silicone candy mold… I haven’t tried it that way, so I didn’t want to instruct anyone using those directions.
