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.
