If there’s one drink I could call a warm hug—it’s hot chocolate. But let me tell you, the hunt for a good one hasn’t been easy! I’ve tried so many versions, and honestly, there are some truly disappointing ones out there. From overly sweet to bland and watery—I’ve tasted it all. Every cook seems to have their own twist, and while some hit the spot, very few truly satisfy that cozy, rich chocolate craving.

And that’s why this homemade version? It’s on another level—deadly good, indulgently creamy, and just what you need on a chilly day.

This recipe journey began on a mountain getaway with friends, staying in a snug Airbnb. My dear friend (who runs BatterUpNewport) made this for us one morning, and it instantly became the wow moment of the trip. Since then, it’s been my go-to, whether it’s cozy dates where my partner dips burnt macaroons into his mug 😄, or Christmas with my family in India, where it stole the show during our White Elephant gift game. It was such a hit, it’s now our Christmas tradition to serve this chocolatey bliss every year. 🎁✨

It’s more than just a drink—it’s a feeling, a memory, a story. And trust me, once you try this, you might just stop hunting.
