Ingredients
- ¼ cup peppermint schnapps
- ¼ cup chocolate liqueur (like Godiva or crème de cacao)

Instructions
- Chill the Glasses: Pop your shot glasses into the freezer for a few minutes. Cold glasses make all the difference — trust me.
- Mix the Magic: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine peppermint schnapps and chocolate liqueur. Shake for about 10–15 seconds until the mixture is icy cold and slightly frothy.
- Pour and Top: Strain the mix evenly into your chilled shot glasses. Top each with a swirl of whipped cream and finish with a sprinkle of crushed candy cane or chocolate shavings.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy right away while they’re cold and creamy. The combination of cool mint and smooth chocolate tastes like dessert in a glass.
