Hot Chocolate is the drink most people dream about once it starts getting cold out. From Peppermint Hot Chocolate, to White Chocolate Hot Chocolate. There are tons of variations on Hot Chocolate and the newest two will take you by surprise. Whipped Hot Chocolate and Hot Chocolate with Coffee are the newest holiday drink craze.
Whipped Hot Chocolate is an easy 5 minute recipe that feels light an airy. I followed this recipe I found online. I will be the first to admit I am not the biggest fan of hot chocolate, I find it too chocolatey. But I feel that way about candies and sweets too. Most of these ingredients I had at home so I all I needed was a milk frother. My over all thoughts on the recipe are it's easy to follow and anyone can make it. I probably wouldn't make it again because I'm lazy.
The Hot Chocolate with Coffee I found to be interesting. I watched a video on this food blog. The first thing that came to mind was this is a 30 plus minute commitment for a drink I don't even like that much. I followed the directions and I have to say I would make this another time, when I have nothing else to do and I really wanted to make this drink. I personally felt like it tasted more like a mocha coffee, just a little sweeter because there was more chocolate than coffee in my opinion. Over all I think the Hot Chocolate with Coffee is a bigger hit to me because of the sophisticated coffee element to it.
