This is the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had! The liqueur adds such a rich flavor!
I totally agree! The liqueur really elevates the hot chocolate experience. Made it last week and my friends loved it!
I dunno… I think it’s too rich! I like my hot chocolate basic, just chocolate and milk. This sounds complicated.
I’ve never made hot chocolate before, but this seems too easy. Is it really that good?
It’s super easy! Trust me, you’ll love it. Just make sure to stir well and enjoy it warm!
Spiked hot chocolate? Not sure how I feel about that. Chocolate should be pure!
