In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching, heating the mixture until small bubbles form around the edges, but do not allow it to boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the saucepan. Whisk continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and crème de menthe liqueur. Mix well to combine all flavors.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for a minute or two to enhance the flavors.
Pour the drink evenly into 4 serving glasses or mugs.
Top each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Garnish with crushed peppermint candies and chocolate shavings for a festive touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, minty chocolate vanilla indulgence!
