I have always been a big BIG fan of hot chocolate. I'm certain I've tried everything from the cheapest form of Swiss Miss to the fanciest option at Williams-Sonoma. I'm a bit of a junkie, I suppose. I asked my facebook page & twitter followers the other day about their favorite store-bought Hot Cocoa and it made me think about hot chocolate for two days NON-STOP until I could get to the grocery store.
I grabbed the Starbucks pre-packaged Hot Chocolate, Peppermint to be exact. Next time, I'm going back for the Salted Caramel. It calls for milk, so it's incredibly rich & delicious. There are tiny pieces of peppermint in the mix for them to dissolve. I stir mine with a peppermint stick so that more sugary goodness gets in there and so that it's extra pretty ;)
I have to say, it's my favorite at the moment.
Starbucks did NOT pay me to say these things. Although, I'd take a White Peppermint Mocha on the house if they're offering ;)
Now, excuse me while I go stir up another serving.

Deletethat recipe is the BEST go-to! SO good, every time. i have sweet memories of making that with my granny when i was little.
DeleteLand O' Lakes gourmet hot chocolate is a favorite around here. Which makes me think, I should probably start stashing up cause it has a tendency to disappear off the shelves.
ReplyDeleteyou're right, land o'lakes is so good! all of their flavors are SO yummy.

Have you tried any of the Stephen's Gourmet hot chocolates? The Candycane Cocoa has me hooked, but I really want to try the peanut butter cup, and mint truffle.
ReplyDeleteRUNNING to the office kitchen to grab a cocoa!
