Ok, so I love Starbucks Peppermint Mocha's but i HATE the calories in them. So I decided why not put a peppermint in the bottom of my mug add my non fat creamer and coffee!?!?! The result, an amazing coffee treat! Taste really close to the fat loaded beverage from SB. :drinker:

    No, its more like just a mint! Just buy those peppermint hard candys, lol, you know theres the red and white twirly ones, or the green and white ones.

    And thanks for the tip! I love minty things!

    It's Christmas -- use candy cane!! I crush them and then put them in the bottom - they melt better... YUM!:happy:

    What non fat creamer do you use? Do you add sugar?

    If you want to cut down on the sugar or cal from the peppermint candy, try a drop of peppermint extract. I get it in the baking aisle aka the dangerous aisle. lol It works well! But a little bit goes a long way!

    I just buy this generic creamer i find at the local grocery store. I don't need to add any sugar because the peppermint is sweet enough. For me at least. :wink:
