Slow Cooker Peppermint Mocha Snugglers

This Peppermint Mocha Recipe makes the perfect treat for the holidays! With only 5 ingredients and 5 minutes of prep time, a cup of this peppermint schnapps snuggler cocktail is an effortless addition to jolly up your Christmas holiday! 

Boozy Peppermint Mocha Recipe

If you never had a snuggler before, it is hot chocolate with a spike of peppermint schnapps, basically Christmas in a glass. It combines the classic holiday flavors of chocolate and peppermint plus coffee and or schnapps. 

This holiday drink can also be for kids to enjoy! Served plain as a hot chocolate and my favorite peppermint coffee creamer. Either version of this peppermint mocha recipe can be topped with marshmallows or whipped cream to enjoy with a Christmas movie!
