I love desserts and sweet things. I love warm drinks (even though I never finish them). and I LOVE peppermint hot chocolate. If you live in LA and you know what Erewhon is, they had a probiotic peppermint hot chocolate for a while and I was obsessed…to say the least. BUT if you know Erewhon, you know that having an obsession with one of their products is anything but budget friendly. Alas, I made my own with a little twist to spice things up and ease the tummy a bit more. Enjoy!
