Feel free to play around with the amounts of any of the ingredients until you have a creamer that is just the way YOU like it! That’s the beauty of homemade! This Peppermint Mocha Creamer recipe is for a lightly sweet creamer that really brings deep chocolate and fresh peppermint together for a holiday flavor explosion. It’s a fun trick and experiment you (or others in your household) can play with. The sweetness I craved slowly lessened until it was the flavor that I really wanted, not the sugar. I decided that each time I made a batch I would decrease the amount of sweetener I used by just a little bit. Those store-bought creamers pack a lot of sugar, so when I first switched to homemade I was shocked at how much sugar I needed to put in my creamer to get the right flavor.

My once-a-year coffee creamer splurge used to always be on a bottle of peppermint mocha creamer.

The tingle of peppermint and the heat of the cup just warm you from the inside out. There’s something about snuggling in front of a warm fire, sipping on a warm, chocolaty beverage.
