Hot Chocolate with Peppermint Schnapps

HMMM~ Steeler playoff game, cold temps. Spruced up hot chocolate - the perfect accompaniment. I doubled the recipe, put it in a thermos - PERFECT!

Hot Chocolate with Peppermint Schnapps
1 quart milk - I used 1%
6 oz. bittersweet and semisweet chocolate, chopped or grated - I used a little of both
9 oz. peppermint schnapps - I used rumpleminz which worked well
Whipped cream, for serving

Heat 1 cup of the milk in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add chocolate, stirring constantly, until melted. When the chocolate has melted, increase heat to medium and add the remainder of the milk while whisking rapidly. Do not allow to boil.

Serve in small cups fortified with 1 1/2 oz. of schnapps & whipped cream.

If transporting in a thermos, heat thermos up with hot water to get it warm for 1 minute. Pour water out, add schnapps and fill with hot chocolate
