Poor Man's White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Latte


I am in love with Starbuck's Peppermint Mochas but at 4.55 for a small we had to break up. I nearly died when I went in and ordered one the other day and that was my total. Wow, have prices gone up. So I just got to goofing around here one day and made my Poor Man's White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Latte version. It is so good!

 White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Latte Recipe

1. First, take a few of those Hershey's White Chocolate Peppermint kisses and drop them in the bottom of your mug and pour your hot coffee in. 
2. Then add some sweetener  and some creamer and mix well. I had the Mounds flavored CoffeeMate. 3. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with some crushed candy cane.
Now doesn't that look yummy?

  12. Good for you! I wish I could make my favorite drink at home, but it's Frozen Coke and I don't think we could buy a machine! I don't like coffee, but I want to learn to like it, so I can get the caffeine without the calories.

  18. You made my day! I'm addicted to those Peppermint Mochas, but like you, the price is a killer (& and I don't get by a Starbuck's often). I just happen to have a few of the peppermint Hersey's in the freezer, so I'm off to make a fresh pot of coffee and find my Christmas cup.

    Thanks!

  19. It really does look yummy! Do you know that I've never had anything from Starbucks? I'm too cheap, plus I only have one cup of coffee in the morning. Any more and I get bajiggety!
    Happy Christmas and Merry REDnesday!

  21. Delicious! You are one smart girl coming up with your own recipe! I like all the fancy drinks, but...YIKES! They are so expensive.

    I have discovered a great Chai Latte recipe. It tastes just like Starbucks, too. I place one Bigelow Vanilla Chai Tea Bag in a mug of hot milk and sweeten it with Stevia. I leave the tea bag in my cup and enjoy for a fraction of the cost! I use unsweetened almond milk but any kind of milk is fine.
    Thank you for sharing!

  23. I just discovered those candy cane kisses over Christmas and added them to my coffee and hot chocolate, too!! Your mug of goodness looks wonderful. I agree with you on Starbucks. They are all around us here, but I only go with a gift card or when leaving out on a long trip--something special!
    Blessings,

  27. I would probably react the same way. We rarely have a cup of Starbucks coffee nowadays and we just bring our own. Once in a while though , it is nice. This so yummy! I will try it soon.
    Thank you for sharing at #Bloggerspotlight link party, hope to see you again! Pinned!
