Last month we asked YOU where to go for the BEST hot chocolate.  And boy did you ever deliver!  Between Facebook, Instagram, emails, and texts, we had enough suggestions to keep us quite busy! 

Needless to say, we’ve been keeping our bellies warm with hot chocolate for the last few weeks, searching out a perfectly blended, soul-stirring, liquid confection.  There were many stellar hot drinks (and to be honest, not a single disappointment), but one cup stood out above the rest. 

Saturday’s Waffle

This cup of tasty cocoa starts with hot milk and melted chocolate (no powder here).  Add in homemade marshmallows, and you have a treat for the soul.  Smooth, frothy, and with a hint of vanilla, you can’t go wrong with a cup of Gourmet Hot Chocolate from Saturday’s Waffle.

The fact that the cup of hot chocolate (overflowing with homemade whipped cream!) is perfectly paired with one of their signature waffles makes this treat a must-try.

To get a hot cup of steamy, dreamy goodness (and the best liege waffles on the planet) visit the Saturday’s Waffle trailer every Saturday at one of the locations below:

If it’s any other day of the week (other than Saturday) and you’re craving a hot cup of cocoa, here are some of our other faves that you suggested:

Hatch Family Chocolates

The good people at Hatch Family Chocolates make their hot chocolate with a blend of solid chocolates. It is “steamed to perfection,” and customers can choose milk or dark chocolate. The drink can even be prepared vegan!

Fiiz Drinks offers a great variety when it comes to add-ins for their hot chocolate. You pick the flavor shots to make it taste the way you want!

 

Along with great places for hot chocolate, you introduced us to some great homemade tricks to make yummy hot cocoa.  Here are some of our faves:

Add 1 tsp. almond extract and a pinch of sea salt (or substitute almond for amaretto, for a grown-up sip)

Add 2 tbsp. of your favorite coffee creamer and then marshmallows

Add a scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream (or any other flavor) and top with whipped cream

Sprinkle cinnamon in the cocoa before adding whipped cream

Add 1 crushed candy cane to hot cocoa and let sit for 5 min. before sipping (for grown ups, try adding peppermint schnapps instead)
