Shamrock Hot Chocolate

 
 
The canal in downtown Indy was turned green yesterday so my older sister was going to take my little sister and me to see it. But it was a little too chilly outside to be walking around. Spring has arrived, but the spring weather hasn't. So instead, we wen't to her house, got to play with her cute puppy Lilly, and make Diva Drinks!

 
 We went to the store and loaded up on all of the drink accessories. We had to get green sprinkles, chocolate, marshmallows, and cool whip.

8 oz. tasty white chocolate
2 drops of peppermint extract
3 drops of green food coloring

Pour both milks into a heavy sauce pan and heat them for 5 minutes on medium. Chop white chocolate and put into the milk. Stir till melted. Add peppermint extract, food coloring, and vanilla to give the mixture a light green color. Stir until it's hot enough for you, but don't burn it! Find the cutest cup you have, dip the rim in white chocolate and sprinkles. Latel the hot chocolate into the cups, add cool whip and lots of marshmallows. Top with chocolate candies and wa-la!
