I'm not a big fan of winter, but I do love a nice warm cup of Hot Chocolate on a cold day!
This homemade hot chocolate recipe is simple, easy to make, and tastes better than the powdered stuff. That's because I use mini chocolate chips! Oh, and it happens to be dairy free!
You can top your hot chocolate with a variety of things, but I've listed my favorites for you here:
- mini marshmallows
- crushed candy canes
- sprinkle of cinnamon
- drizzle of chocolate syrup
- whipped cream (dairy free options are out there!
Yes, this hot chocolate is high in fat grams, but it's also high in fiber! And you can stir in a couple scoops of collagen peptides to amp up the protein!
