The weather is definitely getting colder around here these days, especially in the morning! While I love a hot cup of coffee in the morning, nowadays I’m mixing it up and some days swapping coffee for a cup of homemade hot chocolate. I used to just open up a package of store-bought hot chocolate mix, but there aren’t that many flavors available, and homemade is healthier, anyway. That’s why homemade drinks are so good! You can make whatever flavor homemade hot cocoa you want, and you can control how much sugar goes in it, whether it has dairy, etc. Your homemade hot chocolate can be customized completely to your tastes!

I’ve included hot chocolates that are good for any time of the year, and a couple that would be especially fitting around Christmastime. These are great for an early morning coffee alternative, or for a sweet treat for the kids after school. You could even make up a big batch of homemade hot cocoa, put it in a thermos, and take it to any outdoor events you’re going to during the chilly fall or winter!
