The Best Hot Chocolate

Share your favorite brands and recipes!

It's so wild that hot chocolate season is almost upon us. It's pretty cold at night where I am, so I'd say it's already here! When it comes to keeping the pantry stocked for cold nights, I usually get a powdered mix for my family (with marshmallows!) but I like mine without much sugar, so I use the actual cocoa powder and add in what I like, which sometimes includes a little salt or cayenne powder.

That said, sometimes I'll try the mixes my family uses. One year my partner bought a bunch of samples to try and that was really fun. I highly recommend doing that as part of a holiday countdown. This year, I have Bones Coffee's drinking chocolate on my list to try. It does come with marshmallows and I've loved almost every one of their coffees I've tried, so it's likely to be awesome.

What kinds of drinking chocolate, cocoa or hot chocolate do you like best? What type do you prefer, and how do you enjoy drinking it? Share all of your cocoa knowledge and treats to pair it with in the chat.
