Better-than-starbuck's Peppermint Mocha

[MunchiesMom324]

I absolutely LIVE for Starbuck's (or any other coffee shop, for that matter) Peppermint Mocha... but since I cant afford $5/day for my habits, I just do it at home.  See, I have been blessed with a DF that knows me inside and out, so for Christmas last year I got my very own espresso machine  *angels sing*...  :)  2oz of espresso, a couple scoops of ice cream, a smidge of choc syrup (since I use van. ice cream) and either part of a crushed peppermint, or those mint flavored sprinkles you can put on cupcakes... Top it off with some (extremely light/low fat) whipped cream (you know, to off-set some of the millions of calories in the shake) and you have your very own slice (cup?) of heaven...
