Hot chocolate is a staple around this house when the weather starts to turn cold. I realize that “cold” is relative depending on where you live. I’m a spoiled California girl so cold to me means about 45-55 degrees. Brrrr… (I know, I’m a wimp. I’ve got nothing on your east coasters!!!)
But be that as it may, we all acclimate to where we live and cold is cold. So when the sweaters come out, so does this recipe. It’s warm, comforting and doesn’t do a number on my blood sugar. And if you ask me, that’s the best kind of hot chocolate there is!
I should mention that this recipe is totally adjustable. Switch out the sweeteners, don’t add cinnamon, do whatever you like to make it taste the way you like it. I sometimes even add a touch of pumpkin pie spice! It’s yummy! So get creative with this one. Make it different every time like I do. You’ll never have the same cup of hot chocolate twice!
