Serving ideas for your hot chocolate
Some of my favorite toppings, of course, are a nice dollop of whipped cream or some marshmallows dunked on top.
Next up, you could do some chocolate shavings or even stir in a little hazelnut spread (yes, Nutella, I’m talking to you…)
Candy canes make festive stirrers at Christmastime, or you can crush some peppermint candies to sprinkle over the whipped cream.
The kids love to add some chocolate syrup, or sprinkles to the top or stir in white chocolate chips for a mocha hot chocolate.
