♡THE BEST OF 12 DAYS OF SUGAR – DAY 9♡

I shared this recipe back in December 2016 and have made it countless times since. It’s simple, decadent, comforting and absolutely delicious! It’s going to become your favorite!

(Original Post . . . )

The sugar frenzy continues with my 12 Days of Sugar and today I’m sharing this Creamy Hot Chocolate. It’s hot chocolate perfection and you’re going to love it! Hot Chocolate is so magical to me. I don’t think there is anything better on a cold, wintry day than a cup of delicious hot chocolate. We are huge hot chocolate lovers at our house and this Creamy Hot Chocolate completely won us over the other day.
 
It’s amazing!
 
This is honestly some of the BEST hot chocolate I’ve ever had. It made me want to do cartwheels (which I probably would have done, but I’m old and would most likely have injured some part of my body).
 
My boys absolutely love when the weather turns colder because they know that means one thing. . . hot chocolate every morning! It’s one of the very few good things about cold weather.

FIVE SIMPLE INGREDIENTS:

  • Sweetened condensed milk
  • Cocoa
  • Milk
  • Cream
  • Vanilla

OPTIONAL GARNISHES:

  • Marhsmallows
  • Whipped cream
  • Crushed candy cane

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes you can. Follow the instructions but just warm it enough for the cocoa to dissolve. Let it cool and then store it covered in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to drink it, slowly reheat it in a pan on the stovetop over medium heat until heated through. Make sure you stir it often. You also can combine all of the ingredients in your slow cooker and heat it on low for a couple hours until it’s hot. 

I highly recommend topping it with fresh whipped cream and chopped candy cane or peppermint candy. This stuff is sinful. We devoured every last drop! You are going to want this every. single. day!
