Peppermint Bark Hot White Cocoa - Yippee!

I recently posted on the ease of making Peppermint Bark.  You can not imagine how giddy I became when I found The Weekend Gourmet AND Wendy's post on making your own Peppermint Bark Hot White Cocoa!  It brought back the smells of Pumpkin White Hot Chocolate and how easy it was to make such a yummy treat!  So I was tickled when I read through the instructions for making yet another delicious concoction at home, Peppermint Bark Hot White Cocoa.  What more reminiscent of the Holidays than peppermint?  And the perfect treat to make to warm up after battling the ahem, "cool" temps we are currently having - 30 degrees in the Carolinas, *shock* in DECEMBER!!!!  Chill - Brrrrr!  Wouldn't it be great to have a few friends over, enjoying cups of this Hot Cocoa with a few Christmas treat?
