Peppermint Low Sugar Hot Chocolate

Laura Villanueva
There's just something comforting and warms the soul to have a delicious mug of low sugar hot chocolate while it's cold outside. Peppermint and chocolate are my two favorite flavor combinations during the holiday season. This is perfect to drink while you decorate the tree with your family.
