The combination of crunchy outside and chewy interior is hard to resist—as is the blend of chocolate and peppermint flavors. The dough is easy to make and work with—and it’s so fun to watch them go into the oven as powder-covered balls and come out as perfectly crinkled little bites.

This classic hot chocolate has both unsweetened cocoa powder and chocolate chips, making it extra chocolatey and rich. Before serving use a milk frother to whip some air into it to make it even creamier. Serve dolloped with whipped cream and a candy candy hooked over the mug or crumbled and sprinkled over the top.
