A creamy and festive white chocolate drink with a hint of peppermint, perfect for cozy winter evenings.
Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
Add the white chocolate, salt, and peppermint schnapps to the saucepan.
Ensure the white chocolate is finely chopped for quicker melting.
Whisk the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and the drink is smooth.
Use a whisk to incorporate air for a frothy texture.
Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs.
Pre-warm the mugs with hot water to keep the drink warm longer.
Top each mug with whipped cream and crushed peppermint candies.
Add the toppings just before serving for the best presentation.
