pinch of salt (x2)
1 tsp vanilla extract
4–6 drops peppermint extract
(optional) whipped coconut cream, crushed candy canes to top

Instructions

Add the almond milk and dark chocolate to a small pot on medium heat, mixing constantly with a whisk until the chocolate has melted and incorporated.
Then add the maple syrup, salt, vanilla extract and peppermint oil and mix until everything is well combined.
