As the temperatures drop and cold weather misery takes over, optimal coziness is a top priority.
Sweaters, scarves, mittens fireplaces, are all winter must-haves. And to top it all off, a mug full of hot chocolate decked out with whipped cream, marshmallows and cinnamon sticks.
It doesn’t have to stop there, though — get creative and throw a little Nutella, mint or bourbon into the mix. These recipes will take your hot chocolate to the next level.
