    Discover over 20 hot chocolate recipes perfect for warming up your winter days. Including traditional, crockpot and boozy recipes.

    If you think hot chocolate recipes consist of opening up an envelope and pouring boiling water into a mug, I have news for you. There's more to hot chocolate than that!

    Oh yeah, there's white chocolate hot chocolate, red wine hot chocolate, cinnamon roll hot chocolate. Even frozen hot chocolate (an oxymoron if I ever saw one).

    Discover over 20 hot chocolate recipes perfect for warming up your winter days. Including traditional, crockpot and boozy recipes.

    BACKSTORY HERE - When I was setting up the shot in the first photo, I bumped into my setup and hot chocolate went flying. I had to wipe it off the wall, mop it off the piece of slate and worst of all, wash it off my birch log. Picture me standing at the sink with my birch log in one hand and my blow dryer in the other trying to get it dried off again before I could take my photos. Blow drying a log was not something my thirteen year old self would have EVER thought I'd be doing!

    Enough about me and my log, you're here for the . . .

      It's finally cold here in PA. Too cold but thanks for the great recipes. Hot chocolate should do the trick!

      If I'm going to have hot chocolate, it better be the real stuff made with milk!

      Blogging is certainly a weird journey - I can just see you blow drying that log!

      When you mentioned blow drying on IG, I was laughing at the thought of you getting the perfect SHOT! Thanks for all the fabulous recipes. Once the ice rink is up and running, we will be sipping hot chocolate on a regular basis.

        This has been the first cold spell we've had here in Ohio, so I was looking for a little warm-me-up 🙂

        It might help if I would have bought more than one birch log. I bought it to use as a yule log, but then I noticed it looks nice in photos, so I didn't end up burning it. Of course I have a few birch trees in the yard, but who wants to cut up your own tree!
