Homemade Hot Chocolate
The Merkleys love hot chocolate! It’s our favorite drink in the winter, but we love it so much, we’ve been known to enjoy this hot chocolate recipe year-round. We know it may be easier to grab the packet and hot water, but we guarantee if you try this recipe, you’ll realize why we love it so much. It’s so rich and creamy, and is especially perfect when we cozy up to watch a Christmas Hallmark movie or for driving around to check out Christmas lights. If you love all classic Christmas Drink Recipes, be sure to check our other favs like: Mint Hot Chocolate, Mexican Hot Chocolate, White Chocolate Peppermint Hot Cocoa, and even Frozen Hot Chocolate.
