Rich and Creamy Hot Chocolate

Rich and creamy Hot Chocolate is better than any store-bought packaged version

Come in and take the chill off with a cup of this Rich and Creamy Hot Chocolate topped off with my Homemade Cool Whip Recipe. This recipe is a wintertime staple in our home, and so much better than the store-bought mixes. One sip and you never go back to the packaged stuff.

Living in Northern California it gets cold here, like freezing temperatures and every once in a while we are blessed with snow.  Mugs of warm decadent hot chocolate are a must in the winter. Nothing compares to the richness of the hot chocolate, the melted chocolate, and the cream gives it a little thicker consistency. I always make up a double batch and keep it in the refrigerator, to make a single cup up on those chilly nights. Who can resist a steaming hot cup of hot chocolate topped with marshmallows, whipped cream, and crushed peppermint candies? It pairs perfectly with my Chewy Chocolate Chip Caramel Cookies!
