How to Make Hot Chocolate Better
Hot chocolate is traditionally made with your preferred type of chocolate—dark, semisweet or bittersweet—grated into a cup filled with hot milk and sugar. To make hot chocolate even more interesting for the taste buds, it’s important to mix things up a bit. You may want to try something with caramel flavors, hazelnut flavors or different types of chocolate, and you can’t forget the whipped cream and marshmallows! Here are some additional things you can add to hot chocolate to make it an even more memorable winter drink.
