Continuing on our series of “How to get ready for the holidays…” I have a few adult hot chocolate recipes for you to add to your recipe book. The first one’s for you to make as you are watching those Hallmark Movies, or warming up from your attic inventory adventure. The other recipe is one you can make when you know friends and family will be over later. These are super good so PLEASE drink responsibly and share the fun. And most importantly, make sure the kiddos know which is their hot chocolate and which is the grown-ups’ hot cocoa!
All the recipes below feature my favorite Southern Cream Liqueurs from Jackson Morgan, because well… we Southern around here. But the answer is yes, if you can’t find Jackson Morgan near you, you have my permission to substitute (or order online)!
