Cooking Games and Hot Chocolate

There is nothing that ushers in the Christmas season than a hot cup of hot chocolate or cocoa. Delicious, creamy and even decadent, hot chocolate can stand alone, but why would you want to make it live that way when there are so many other fun ways to enjoy the warm drink this Christmas season?

Stir in peppermint. Make you hot cocoa as usual and then rather than stirring with a spoon, use a soft peppermint stick to stir things up. The peppermint will melt into the hot chocolate and then you’ll have a delicious combination of chocolate and yummy peppermint – perfect for cold mornings.

Top it off! At the very least every cup of hot chocolate deserves to have a great topping. You can use a topping of marshmallows or whipped cream like they do in the movies. Or you can get a bit more creative and top your hot chocolate off with whipped cream and sprinkles or perhaps a bit of nutmeg to add some depth to the flavor.
