OK! I know, I know. It’s not Tuesday so therefore it can’t be HOW DO YOU LIKE IT? Tuesday. But you forget, it’s my blog so today is my How Do You Like It post. Shoot me!
All joking aside, we are well into fall, and sure to be here soon is winter. I think for a good number of us, we are starting to feel some of the cool chill in the air, if not the entire day, at least in the evenings. Those cold evenings can be so much more relaxing and special with a nice warm drink. And no, I am not talking TEQUILA guys. By the way, I’ve managed to come off my ‘tequila high’ or should I be saying hangover. Uggggh! Back to my point though, a warm drink setting the tone for a relaxing evening, comfort food if you will. For me, that warm drink that sooths the savage ‘inner beast’ in me at this time of year is hot chocolate. Nothing like sitting down to a good movie and sipping on a coffee mug filled with pure chocolate pleasure.
I happen to love my hot chocolate slathered in whipped cream, marshmallows, and some white chocolate shavings. Talk about rich and creamy. Hmmm! I think I need to take a break after this and get some YUMMY for my TUMMY. Gosh, my mind seems to be scattering in different directions as I think about all these terms I am throwing out…evil grin.
But I digress for the second time. My question to you today is:
How do you like your hot chocolate – simply straight, sinfully spiked with a little coffee or alcohol, slathered with whipped cream, or smothered with marshmallows?
Time to share…spill them beans friends!

like my men, simply straight… hahahaha… but seriously, nice and warm, not too hot and straight

warm, not too hot, with plenty of marshmallows!

I usually drink mine plain (not straight. I don’t do anything straight, sweetie). I prefer whipped cream to marshmallows. I will very occasionally put in a jot of peppermint schnapps.

I like hot chocolate straight up with no frills…and only for about the first 3-4 minutes. After that, it starts to cool too much and just feels nasty on my tongue.
I’d rather have the tequila.

I hate to be wishy-washy, but I’ve never met a hot chocolate I didn’t like. If all the fixin’s are available, I’ll usually partake, but I ain’t sayin’ no to vanilla (hot chocolate, that is).

I usually like marshmallows but recently we bought this machine Called a Frothie and it makes the hot chocolate into a latte which is really yummy. Love me some foam. The machine also makes a nice Chai latte. The best commercial hot chocolate can be had at Max Brenner’s

Whipped cream with powdered chocolate sprinkled on top. Occasionally with a stick of cinnamon, too.

You can make mine with whipped cream and chocolate jimmies on top.
I’ll take that in bed and…you might want to bring the can of whipped cream along too!

i think it is rich enough that it doesn’t need anything on top of it.

I like it thick and chocolatey with whipped cream…and maybe a little cotton candy on the side

I like mine simple… sometimes with a little whipped cream, but just one cup.. never seconds… White chocolate or rich milk chocolate , but I don’t like it too dark…

I only like it plain, nothing added, I do love me some hot choc. Well I do like it sharing it with someone hot as well.

I love it with a little Irish Cream, as in Baileys (get your mind out of the gutter).
Oh, and you can never go wrong with a little marshmallow fluff.

If I “cheat” and have hot chocolate, I like it piping hot and with Redi-Whip and ground cinnamon on top.
Actually, my hot drink of choice (this time of year) is always Starbucks Gingerbread Latte.
