White Peppermint Hot Chocolate
"Note: I have only ever used white chocolate bars (real chocolate, not the candy coating or candy melts) for this recipe. I can easily find the Baker's or Lindt brand in my grocery store. If you'd like to use white chocolate chips, go ahead and try it - often times white chocolate chips don't melt as well as the white chocolate bars so I always stick with the white bars of chocolate (usually found above or near the chocolate chips), plus they taste better than white chocolate chips, in my opinion...."
