With the colder weather upon us, all we want to do is cuddle up by the fire in our warmest blanket with a cup of hot cocoa in our hands. Hot chocolate is one of our favorite winter drinks and it is even better with these mix-ins. If you didn’t think hot chocolate could be any tastier, you’re in for a real treat!
Espresso
If you love coffee and hot chocolate equally, why not mix them together to create an amazing mocha drink? You’ll get your chocolate and coffee fix in one drink.
Peppermint
Pair two winter classic in one drink—peppermint and hot chocolate. Just add crushed candy canes or peppermint candies, mint chocolate chips, and a drop of peppermint or mint extract into your drink.
Booze
Make an adult hot chocolate by adding a splash of Kahlua, bourbon, whiskey, amaretto, or Bailey’s Irish cream. Who doesn’t love a boozy drink?
Ice Cream
Who said hot chocolate needs to always be piping hot? Instead of adding whipped cream, try a scoop of vanilla ice cream in your hot cocoa.
Pumpkin
Pumpkin spice lovers will enjoy this chocolaty take on a pumpkin spice latte and the best part is that you don’t have to go to Starbucks to get a pumpkin hot chocolate. All you have to do is add some pumpkin spice to your drink.
