easy, elegant entertaining

Hey, Reader!

Last week was a snowy one, even for places that are usually free from the white stuff!

It didn't snow much here β€” and doesn't often β€” but with cooler weather comes the need to get cozy. It's hard to beat a mug of hot chocolate when it comes to warming up!

Something about that first sip transports me back to the days of sledding with my best friend, warm cookies and a movie marathon. Since I've grown up, my hot chocolate has too. No more of the powdered stuff, now I swear by using real chocolate. It's simply the best!

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

​Hot Chocolate Recipe #1 β€” Your favorite kitchen appliance for easy dinners can easily serve warm drinks to a crowd.

​Hot Chocolate Recipe #2 β€” Hold onto the holidays a little longer with this recipe.

​Hot Chocolate Recipe #3 β€” This twist on the classic is just in time to ask 'Will you be mine?'

​Hot Chocolate Recipe #4 β€” Share the love with an easy DIY recipe.

​Hot Chocolate Recipe #5 β€” Warm up in no time with a little extra booze β€” I mean, boost!

It's not hot chocolate without toppings! Homemade whipped cream, boozy marshmallows or DIY sprinkles take things over the top!

Enjoy!

Susannah
