Hot chocolate is synonymous to ‘comfort’ on chilly, winter days. The delicious blend of rich chocolaty flavors and creamy frothiness of the drink warms you up to the core, thus ensuring a happy soul. A dash of spicy flavors of cinnamon in it simply adds to its splendor. However, it’s the add-ons which make this popular drink so special and customized to suit your liking. So while some stick to the classic topping of fluffy whipped cream on top, some try to be more adventurous and spike up their hot chocolate with a pinch of chili pepper. However, my hot chocolate recipe comes with the sweet surprise of mini marshmallows. What more can your sweet tooth ask for!
