In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm, but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scalding.
Add the Cocoa and Sugar:
Add the cocoa powder and sugar to the warm milk. Stir continuously until both are completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the Chocolate Chips and Peppermint Extract:
Stir in the chocolate chips and continue heating until they melt completely, creating a smooth, rich chocolate mixture. Once melted, add the peppermint extract and stir to combine. The peppermint extract is what gives this drink its signature, minty kick.
Serve the Peppermint Joy:
Pour the warm peppermint chocolate mixture into mugs, leaving some space at the top for whipped cream and toppings.
Top and Garnish:
Top each cup with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candy or crushed candy canes on top for a crunchy, minty finish. For extra sweetness, drizzle with chocolate syrup and add a few mini marshmallows if desired.
Enjoy:
Sip your Peppermint Joy slowly and savor the warming, creamy, minty goodness that envelops you like a cozy blanket.
