In a small saucepan, heat the milk on medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
Add the white chocolate chips to the hot milk and whisk continuously until the chocolate fully melts and combines with the milk.
Stir in the mint extract and remove the saucepan from heat.
Brew a fresh shot of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop espresso maker, etc.).
Pour the brewed espresso into a cappuccino cup or mug.
Using a milk frother or a whisk, froth the white chocolate mint milk mixture until it becomes creamy and foamy.
Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso in the cappuccino cup, holding back the foam with a spoon to create distinct layers if desired.
Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies over the whipped cream for a festive touch.
Optionally, add a light dusting of cocoa powder for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your White Chocolate Mint Cappuccino!
