Hot Chocolate for the Holidays

Hello, lovelies! It’s that time of year: the air is getting crisper and the nights are getting darker. After a day of long classes or a night before a stressful test, it is always a good idea to have a cup of cocoa by your side. After awhile, though, we can’t always be drinking the same hot chocolate and marshmallows; it’s time to mix things up! After all, isn’t that what college is for? It’s time to try something new. Here are four hot chocolate recipes to add to your brisk evenings!

Peppermint Hot Cocoa

Ingredients

1 cup of milk

½ cup chocolate chips

5 peppermint candies or 2 candy canes

Pumpkin Spice

Ingredients

1 tsp. maple syrup

½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 cup whole milk

1 tsp. unsweetened dark cocoa

Caramel

Ingredients

½ cup milk

5 oz. milk chocolate, chopped

¼ heavy cream

3 Tbsp. caramel sauce

Vegan

Ingredients

1 cup vanilla almond milk

1-1/2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tsp. coconut palm sugar

For each of these recipes, heat on medium-low heat until chocolate is melted and everything is evenly mixed together. Feel free to top them off with marshmallows, whipped cream, a cinnamon stick, or caramel.

Enjoy something warm as the days get cold. Let me know what you think of these recipes in the comments below!
