Hot Chocolate... But Better

Quick Tip

I guess it really depends on the mood I am in, but I don't think my hot chocolate ever tastes the same. I keep lots of little goodies to choose from. Here's my recipe.

Start off with your favorite sachet of hot chocolate. If I'm in a rush, I will simply add boiling water and be done with it.

But, if I want Hot Chocolate... But Better, here is a list of some of the goodies that I have added. And yes, it makes a big difference.

  • a little Half and Half to make it creamy
  • a spoonful of cocoa to make it richer
  • Kahlua liquer
  • Grand Marnier liquer
  • cinnamon stick
  • peppermint stick, (and you can get them in different colors for different holidays.) (idea submitted by AsterBIu)
I'm sure that there are zillions more that I have probably added over the years, but these come to mind in seconds. :)
