Notes

  • Anya suggests using good quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • If you do not have peppermint syrup, you can use a few drops of food-grade peppermint extract, but start small as it is strong.
  • For a vegan version, use non-dairy milk and ensure your chocolate syrup is dairy-free.
