Hey, Reader!

It doesn't snow often where I live, but there is just something comforting about a mug of hot chocolate in the wintertime. For me, one sip takes me back to the days of sledding with my best friend, warm cookies and a movie marathon.

Back then we used to have hot cocoa mix on hand, easy to prepare in a jiffy to warm us up. But now I know that using real chocolate makes for the best hot chocolate. It’s one of my very favorite things!

Here are some of my best hot chocolate recipes to enjoy throughout the season:

Hot Chocolate Recipe #1 — Easily serve warm drinks to a crowd using an unexpected kitchen appliance.

Hot Chocolate Recipe #2 — Need some cozy in a snap? This is just the thing to keep on hand.

Hot Chocolate Recipe #3 — This recipe is a sweet twist on the classic that's easy to make.

Hot Chocolate Recipe #4 — Make your cocoa more of an experience that all ages can enjoy.

Hot Chocolate Recipe #5 — Brighten anyone's day with the gift of hot chocolate thanks to an easy DIY recipe.

Top with whipped cream or homemade marshmallows and you're ready to go!

Stay cozy!
Susannah
