Crockpot Peppermint Mocha
Ingredients
Instructions
To make the peppermint syrup, bring the water and sugar to a boil and stir until sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat, add the peppermint extract and stir to combine.
In a crockpot, combine milk, coffee, chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of the peppermint syrup. Let it cook on low for 2 hours (stir occasionally).
Serve it up in your favorite mug and top with whipped cream (or whatever your heart desires).
