50 great hot chocolate recipes including white hot chocolate, frozen, and spiked!
The weather is starting to FINALLY warm up but there is still plenty of time to sip on some hot chocolate. Even on those chilly spring mornings — move your butt to the porch, enjoy the fresh air with a blanket and a cup of hot cocoa. How great does that sound? And for those hot days when a steamy mug doesn’t sound right? There are some frozen offerings on this list. And for special occasions or after a long day, we have some spiked offerings for you. Make sure to save this list, pin it, FB it, whatever you favorite social media is. It’s a keeper! I know I’ll be referring to it again. These hot chocolate recipes all beat a packet of store-bought hot chocolate any day.

As I sit here freezing and preparing for another round of snow in Milwaukee, WI, I look at this list and want EVERY single one of these lol. Thanks for posting this list!

Virginia says
Another list? I imagine this is great for you in some social media or traffic sort of way but it’s getting old. Then suggesting we pin it for our use? Please, we are not that dumb! When the obvious intent is for you to gain traffic without really adding anything of interest to a reader except a list of links, well, maybe I’m alone but I’m gone. Unsubscribed.
Rachel Gurk says
Hi Virginia — sorry to hear you feel that way! Yours is the first complaint I’ve heard in regards to these lists. Other readers love the collections — an easy way to find lots of great recipes. While I realize you could Google for recipes, I believe these lists have added value because they feature all bloggers who I know and trust in regards to recipe creation. I’ll keep your comments in mind but I must weigh what the overall opinion is on these sorts of things and you do seem to be in the minority in this opinion. Sorry to lose you. Take care.
Phi @ www.sweetphi.com says
Hi Rachel, I was just going to comment on how much I LOVE your lists, and this is yet another amazing one, when I saw this comment, and although I normally don’t join comments I had to lend my two cents.
I actually look forward to your different lists-the one you had on Quinoa recipes-I refer to that one ALL the time!I love pinning the lists and then coming to one place when I remember I want to make something instead of having to look everywhere and a half trying to remember where I saw something.
As a fellow food blogger I admire all you do because you have such a terrific and informative blog that I gather inspiration from all the time, so thank you!
Liz @ Virtually Homemade says
What a fabulous list! Ready to make a mug for breakfast!
Julie says
Okay, for real – how am I supposed to decide where to start? I want them all! :)
Heather @ French Press says

Heather @ Sugar Dish Me says
I am frozen to the core today and wish I could try every one of these! Thanks for including my Bourbon Spiked Hot Chocolate!
