Hot Chocolate

It's my winter addiction. I've become more addicted now that everyone's adding peppermint. I made my usual home recipe and added some peppermint and it made me think...

 

How do YOU make hot chocolate? If you don't make your own, what do you get when you go out?

I start with Swiss Miss chocolate mix and warm up the water. I fill thecup 1/2-way with hot water, stirring it to dissolve the powder. Then I fill it up with cold milk. Now, I add peppermint syrup from Starbucks.

 

Yum!

I have to admit, my favorite 'store bought' hot chocolate is Land-o-Lakes because I love the wide variety of flavors and they have something for every mood I'm in: white chocolate, mint, amaretto, hazelnut, dark raspberry, caramel, supreme, cinnamon, etc..... :biggrin:

 

I prefer my hot chocolate with just a little milk to keep it from being too hot and whipped cream. :) (I like the Reddi-Whip fat-free stuff. It's still delicious.)

 

If I go out, the Hardback Cafe (in our local Hastings) does flavor shots, and I love doing blackberry hot chocolate. Or (not entirely chocolate) a green tea latte with white chocolate and mint. (They do the best beverages I've ever had out of a coffee shop anywhere).

I go to World Market and buy their specialties. I love the hot chocolate with hazelnut and the peppermint one.

grate dark and milk chocolate bars into hot milk/half n half mixture. stir to melt.

 

pinch of salt is good. pinch of vanilla is nice too.

 

 

This sounds really good!

it is. you don't have to lighten the cream with milk, either.

 

I'll let you know how it goes when I make it. I'm going to make some Hazelnut in a few minutes.

I lied. Lol, I found some peppermint mix and made that instead. It was good.

The temps dropped back down close to where they are supposed to be today, so I believe there will be a big cup in my immediate future...
