Hot Chocolate
Or hot cocoa. How do you like yours?
On it's own?
With some whipped cream on top?
With something else?
Also at my local coffee shop they are doing black forest hot chocolates right now, which is dark chocolate cocoa powder, whipped cream on top and drizzled in the jam the gets put in the cakes. It's incredibly unhealthy but tastes sickeningly amazing.
I buy Abuelita brand hot chocolate discs.
The box comes with 5 thick discs of chocolate that already has cinnamon & sugar added & "pre-scored" into wedges. I think one wedge is supposed to equal to 2 mugs of hot chocolate with the milk measurement, but I always add extra.
The discs are pretty much rock hard, though, so you kinda have to use a grater & grate it into shavings, or use a knife and grate it up that way.
And then you heat up the milk in a small pot, add the chocolate, and stir it until the chocolate melts & combines with the milk.
Sounds like a lot of work, but it isn't, and it's worth it. I do love adding a couple or 3 big puffy marshmallows on top and stirring them in to mix with the rest.... Soooooo yummy!!
With a shot of peppermint and whipped cream on top. Marshmallows as a secondary option.
I prefer a mocha to a hot chocolate if I'm out, but I do love a caramel one, with marshmallowsyuuum! And at Christmas, it naturally becomes salted caramel.
Denmark and I made a homemade mixture of different things to make a big batch of hot cocoa powder. I like mine with huge heaps of Cool Whip.
At the store there was a container of white chocolate hot chocolate mix. I'd love to try it, never had anything like that before!

And in December, peppermint cocoa is the way to go!
I don't typically go for all the extra sugar
I actually do not like it at all! This is coming from someone with a chocolate addiction and a sweet tooth the size of Nebraska, but even the smell of it makes me gag a little.
I love hot chocolate with little marshmallows. It's the perfect winter drink, especially on those nights where you stay up late talking to someone sitting next to the Christmas tree.
Well, I know I'm putting hot chocolate and marshmallows into my shopping basket today. Goddamn you Aulayna I'm meant to be being healthy you FIEND.
I love hot chocolate but it has to be a huge mug and it has to be made on milk and with cream and afterwards I basically want to feel like I'm having a heart attack.
I know, I know. If I'm ruining my own healthiness I'm dragging you all down with me!
I like the kinds that are borderline melted chocolate sundaes. >=] Whipped cream, marshmallows I can live without really, but definitely little chunks of chocolate inside them and perhaps hot chocolate sauce on the cream too. And maybe some kind of blob of melted ice cream dunked into it beforehand. Seriously I want it to be as rich and heavenly as possible. xD The ones from restaurants and cafes are always so much better than anything I have at home.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Yeah, no.
You're trying too hard now.Yeah, no.
Drinkable, but only if it is made with real chocolate. That powder trout is horrible.
