After a long day of work, it doesn’t get much better than
curling up with a nice steaming mug of cocoa and the people you love. Whether
you’re coming home from hitting the stores, slopes, or office, nothing beats
being able to relax with a tasty treat and your family. This holiday season,
instead of preparing your typical pre-packaged hot chocolate, why not try
something a little more luxurious? We’ve combed the internet and found eight
delicious, original recipes you’ve got to sample! Sip them with a good book,
blanket, and a cookie – or two!
Spicy – Sure
cocoa should be hot, but should it be spicy? Short answer: yes! Long answer:
HECK YES! Add a pinch of chili pepper to dark chocolate and see how much you like
it.
Gingerbread –
Adding a touch of liquor to hot chocolate can help warm even the coldest
hearts. Don’t go straight for the whiskey or brandy though, opting for a
sweeter more flavorful style can complement your hot chocolate nicely.
Junior Mint – This
holiday season, try turning one of your favorite candies into hot chocolate! It
can be done (and it’s not even too tricky!).
Chai – Being on a
vegan diet doesn’t mean no more hot chocolate. It doesn’t even mean no more
fancy hot chocolate. This chai infused hot chocolate is creamy, rich,
delicious, and totally vegan. You’re welcome!

delicious!
