Our copycat version of Starbucks' Peppermint Hot Chocolate is made with Chocolate Peppermint Collagen for seasonal skin, hair, & nail support in every warming sip. Topped with homemade whipped cream and candy cane pieces, it tastes like seasonal cheer in a cup.
Ingredients
Directions
Add milk, cocoa powder, collagen, and salt to a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk to combine. Heat to near boiling, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
In the meantime, make the whipped cream: Add cream and vanilla extract to a medium-sized bowl and beat with a frother or electric mixer until fluffy.
Divide the cocoa between two mugs. Top each with whipped cream, sprinkle with candy cane pieces or cacao nibs if desired, and enjoy!

There's something magical about hot cocoa with a dash of peppermint. Call it seasonal nostalgia, but when coffee shops start rolling out drinks that taste like a candy cane in a cup, it's hard not to feel like a kid again.
Inspired by the fan-favorite peppermint hot chocolate drink at Starbucks, this copycat recipe uses our limited-edition Chocolate Peppermint Collagen to bring the signature cocoa and mint flavor to life. With just three base ingredients, this warm and cozy beverage comes together quicker than you can say "winter wonderland."
Pour it into your favorite holiday mugs and top with our easy 2-ingredient whipped cream plus a dusting of crushed peppermint candy for a delicious family-friendly treat.
