Simple homemade hot chocolate perfect to cozy up with in the colder months! I love making my own hot chocolate from home so I can control the sweetness flavor. This is definitely a drink you need to try!
In the colder months, I crave warm lattes and hot chocolate drinks like this! Of course, I had to take it into my own hands and make it from home with just 5 simple ingredients!
I sweetened this drink with melted chocolate and maple syrup. The chocolate brings a creamier and richer consistency to the drink so it’s a must! Top your beverage with marshmallows and cinnamon for serving!
What other drinks should I make during these colder months? I love trying new recipes and doing remakes of holiday drinks!
