Place cocoa in a medium saucepan; gradually whisk in milk until cocoa has dissolved. Add chocolate chips and crushed peppermint.
Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until chocolate and peppermint have melted, 8-10 minutes. Bring to a boil; immediately remove from heat. Add salt.
To serve, ladle into mugs; serve each with a peppermint stick and whipped cream or mini-marshmallows, if desired.

*For a sweeter version, add a bit of sugar in the saucepan with the cocoa.
