by | Read time: 1 minute

It’s about time that your favorite hot chocolate indulgence got a makeover. This peppermint hot chocolate recipe features collagen powder, which is a staple of many natural beauty regimens due to its positive effects on skin appearance and texture. By making your own hot chocolate from scratch and swirling in some collagen powder, you can avoid unhealthy additives and give the drink a beauty boost to boot.

Bonus: If you’re looking for a way to use up your leftover candy canes, crush them up and use them as garnish. You can even toss on a mint-chocolate marshmallow — or two or three!
