My At-Home Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Recipe
When it comes to Christmas, I don’t mess around. I’m one of those crazy people who transitions our home décor from fall to festive starting on November 1 and my Starbucks order follows suit.
If you didn’t already know, you can order the Starbucks Peppermint Mocha year-round (just without the chocolate curl garnish on top) and I take full advantage of this right after Halloween each year. However, at $5.25 a pop, that gets pretty expensive pretty quickly so this year I took matters into my own hands.
Through extensive Pinterest research (and many failed attempts), I created the perfect solution to my Holiday Starbucks Addiction: the Berno At-Home Peppermint Mocha Recipe.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Tag me in your IG stories if you make it and watch my step-by-step how-to video here.
Get cozy with my at-home peppermint mocha recipe.
