Creamy Hot Chocolate
When it’s a cold day there is nothing better than a steamy hot drink! This creamy hot chocolate has become a holiday tradition to make while putting up our Christmas tree and snacking on some favorite Christmas cookies.
It’s easy to make in only a few minutes and has the best rich chocolate taste that is not too overly sweet! Adding cream makes it smooth and luxurious tasting and then topping it with whipped cream or even sprinkles makes it so festive!
Whether you make a mug of hot cocoa to enjoy by yourself or to serve at a holiday party, it’s the best treat. You can even make it ahead and reheat later if you would like! No matter how you enjoy a mug, it’s pure bliss.
