The GOOD Hot Chocolate
I’ve been kind of a hot chocolate voyeur lately. I think it started (or restarted?) while I was looking at this beautiful vessel over the holidays. Also, I think Duff was chatting with me on Twitter about the Earl Grey hot chocolate she’d just been sipping. I started looking up GOOD hot chocolate recipes (there are A LOT of boring ones out there)–and while I was having fun bookmarking all this madness it dawned on me that I should share the choco insanity and put together a little roundup. A lot of these recipes can be made with almond milk, coconut milk or soy milk, too! You’re welcome… AND I’m sorry–all at once. ❤

Oh wow this is an amazing post! It makes me sad, as I sip my work vending maching hot choc! Good hot chocolate is amazing ;)
You need the real deal, Hannah!
I know this post is supposed to be about the hot chocolate, but I can’t stop thinking about those marshmallows. :9
Ha! Everything that Whimsy & Spice makes is AAAAAAAMMMMAAAAZING!

Ugh, I have wanted good hot chocolate for weeks and whenever I have the opportunity to order it, I forget! Ugh!
Ummm… bless you for making the lavender one–SO GOOOOD!
i’ll take the cardamom and orange blossom infused. please.
Me too. And the cardamom rose. And the mint… and the lavender…
This is an amazing resource! Bless your soul!
Hahaa… this is my second time being blessed for this post. Holy chocolate!
I’ve been thinking about making Early Grey hot chocolate like Whimsy & Spice sells at markets for a couple weeks now NON STOP. You’ve answered my curiosity on how to do it properly. Delicious beverage, here I come!
YAY! Earl Grey is one of my big addictions. I’m looking forward to that one as well.
Yum! I adore hot chocolate. Have you ever had an Italian hot chocolate? Seriously, the best I’ve ever had!
I’m going to have to try that earl grey hot chocolate very soon.
I haven’t–I’ve only been in Italy when it was way too hot for hot chocolate. I will have to investigate this further for sure. Thanks, Teresa!
This is incredible! I know not where to start.
Gorgeous collection! Thank you for this post. I love it.
You are the best! (and the worst!) I’ve been craving homemade hot chocolate like mad too- this is such a great resource!
Hahaa… I am a total jerk for doing this big roundup–it’s true.
Is it OK that I love you?
