We had our first big snow fall here in Ohio yesterday and even though it really wasnโt that much, Iโm acting like itโs a full blown blizzard. I prepped with blankets, movies, and cranked up the heat. Iโve been known to (slightly) overreact to the first snow of the season. We will all get used to this weather soon, but in the meantime, I needed a way to cope. No matter what age, one of the most comforting ways to fight the cold is with a mug of sweet and creamy hot chocolate.
I have three delicious Adult Hot Chocolate recipes to warm you up after you shovel the driveway, go sledding, or build a snow fort. Letโs face it, playing in the snow has no age limit. Even if you live somewhere that doesnโt have cold weather, one of these festive treats are a great way to get yourself in the mood for celebrating the season. And we all know that a sweet, boozy cocktail helps you wrap presentsโฆitโs a fact!
Letโs start at the beginning with Jamieโs fantastic recipe for Hot Cocoa Mix.

This is so tempting.
I now know what to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon :) These look delicious!
Here in Miami, I recently had the pleasure of eating at a โSpanishโ (from Spain) restaurant.
Iโve never traveled there and I wasnโt very hungry so I ordered their โHot Chocolate with Churrosโ. Churros are a fried dough, these were round. What amazed me was the thickness of the hot chocolate! It was like a โpot de creme aux chocolatโ. Thick and not very sweet, it was absolutely decadent, warming, and extremely satisfying. For Christmas I had baked some โMississippi Mud Browniesโ and I had some leftover Duncan Hines frosting and spoonable Marshmallow. It had gotten a little nippy (you know, 60 degrees). I diluted some on the frosting with some Half & Half, microwaved it it 1 minute increments and stirring each time. After 3 minutes it was topped with a dollop of marshmallow cream. I came pretty close to replicating what the restaurant served me. When I looked up the recipe for hot chocolate in Google espaรฑol, it seems they thicken it with some type of flour or corn starch, thatโs why the consistency was so thick. I had noticed that in the store section of the restaurant they did offer two different brands of hot chocolate mix โ but, honestly, being gluten intolerant, my version works better for me. You can control how chocolatey you want your cup of hot chocolate to be, but letโs face it, if your going to indulge, indulge like you mean it.
The Spicy Cinnamon Hot Chocolate definitely has my vote! Thanks for sharing these, Lindsay!
