The temperatures are starting to drop, which means that it’s getting close to hot chocolate season. While marshmallows might be the most common and well-known topping, there are tons of options for other things to use.
Here are some that you should try!
Peppermint Candies
Peppermint and chocolate is always a good duo, and if you top your hot chocolate with crushed peppermint candies, you’ll find that this combination is absolutely magical.
Whipped Cream
Whipped cream adds a creamy, rich element to hot chocolate. I don’t like to have them separately, but rather stir the cream into the hot chocolate to give it a whole new texture and taste.
Coffee Ice Cream
Coffee and chocolate: what could be better together? You’ll marvel as the ice cream melts and streams a delicious and creamy new flavor into your hot chocolate.
Ground Cinnamon
Cinnamon also goes great with hot chocolate, so don’t be afraid to sprinkle some ground cinnamon on top of your next mug. This evokes Mexican tradition, where hot chocolate is normally drunk with this spice.
