Ways to Dress Up Hot Chocolate!
-
Top it with mini marshmallows!
-
Add some chocolate chips or white chocolate chips before adding the warm milk – they will melt into the drink for extra chocolate goodness.
- Add a dollop of homemade whipped cream and sprinkle cocoa powder or grated chocolate over the top.
- Or, drizzle some caramel sauce or chocolate sauce over the whipped cream for an extra treat.
- For the adults, add a shot of espresso or strong brewed coffee for a DIY mocha! Or, add a splash of peppermint schnapps for a boozy kick.
