COOKING: TOP 10 FLAVORFUL TWISTS ON HOT CHOCOLATE



It is hot chocolate time! What an amazing invention hot chocolate is. Think about it …warm wonderful chocolate in a liquid form. Top it with a marshmallow and I think you may have yourself an actual meal. Alright I am pushing it with the meal but you have one heck of a cold winters day treat. Can such a marvel be improved upon…well yes.

Here you go for my personal top 10 Flavorful Twists to Hot Chocolate.
  1. Lindt Chocolate Truffle Ball
    Just pop one of these babies in your hot chocolate and you will be in double chocolate heaven.
  2. Nutella or Peanut butter
    Yes this does work and yes it is delicious. Take a tablespoon or two of either peanut butter or Nutella and mix well while hot chocolate is at its hottest.
  3. Coffee
    Personally I love coffee in anything…cakes, cookies, ice cream, anything! In hot chocolate it truly is a treat.
  4. A Shot of Vanilla Extract
    Just take a ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract to achieve a superior vanilla hot chocolate flavor.
  5. Peppermint Hot Chocolate
    It is as simple as plopping a peppermint candy into your hot chocolate or using a candy cane as a tasty spoon to swirl your hot chocolate around.
  6. Almond Milk with Cinnamon
    A flavorful combination. It helps to have the almond milk warm before adding to the hot chocolate.
  7. Kahlua   
    This one is for the adults in the house. Yum yum yum…this really puts a flavorful twist on this heavenly chocolate drink.
  8. Salted Caramel
    This simple twist packs a flavorful punch. Take one tablespoon of caramel sauce and a sprinkle of sea salt and viola!
  9. Mexican
    A pinch of chili powder and cinnamon and you have the makings for a spicy treat.
  10. Ice Cream
    Make sure your hot chocolate is hot or reheat once the ice cream is added. The ice cream adds a creamy sweet taste.
