Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, add the milk, chocolate chips, sugar and salt. Heat on medium low heat, whisking often. 
  • Continue whisking until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture comes to a low simmer. (Do NOT let boil, as it will burn to the bottom of the pan.) Once the liquid comes to a low simmer, promptly remove from heat. 
  • Add the mint extract and stir to combine.
  • Ladle the hot chocolate into 4 mugs. Top with homemade Cool Whip and any additional toppings you prefer. Enjoy right away while hot.

Notes

If spiking with a liqueur, you'll need 1 oz. shot per mug. Wait to add the liquor until just before serving.
