Indulging in a cup of rich, decadent Hot Chocolate is my favorite drink over the holiday season. Now I am not speaking about hot cocoa, when I say hot chocolate, that is exactly what I mean. The difference simply is hot cocoa is what many of us think of when we say Hot Chocolate. You open a package of powdered cocoa or make your own powdered mixture and stir that into hot milk. Growing up this is what I thought Hot Chocolate was too. Then, I had real Hot Chocolate at a little restaurant in New York and my mind was blown. Real Chocolate!
