I like dark chocolate with a splash of half-and-half and a dash of cinnamon, chile powder, and cumin. Yum!

(Does smell a bit like pencil shavings, though.)

    Before I would mix with milk, and add lots of marshmallows. Now I mix with water and leave off the marshmallows.

    Years ago I was a barista for Seattle's Best coffee back in NYC, and they used to have this AMAZING highly caloric delicious monstrosity of a hot chocolate called a "coco trio". It was steamed half and half, with white chocolate, Belgium milk chocolate, and dark chocolate mixed in and then topped with whipped cream, white chocolate shavings, a swirl of chocolate syrup, and a Belgium chocolate stick for "stirring".

    Serious mouthgasm.

    No hot chocolate has ever been the same since..:sad:

    Honestly my favorote hot cocoa so far is Starbucks'. I buy their packets from Walmart (or any store practically), and mix it with 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. End result? Chocolate deliciousness around 130-150 calories. The ingredient list is so short and simple on them, and it tastes like homemade hot cocoa, not the artificial packets you'd normally find on the shelf. They're a little more expensive, but soooo worth it and tastes BETTER than from the store!

    Teaspoon of sugar, teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and a dash of vanilla extract and CURRY powder.

    Curry powder and chocolate is amazing!

    I used to like the instant varieties, but ugh...no more.

    I found a "recipe" on Pinterest for Nutella hot chocolate. Roughly 1 cup milk, 2 TBSP Nutella/Nutkao, 1 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder and I added a dash of cinnamon. Simmer over medium in a saucepan, stirring with whisk.

    The recipe claimed that was one serving but we thought it was plenty for TWO

    It suggests making from-scratch whipped cream but we skipped that part. You could always add a premade whipped topping if you like.

    SO delicious...better than anything I've had at Starbucks in the past when I was a fiend
