]]>Get Dark Chocolate
Don’t look for instant hot cocoa packets. Instead, look for your very favorite brand of dark chocolate in the supermarket. Get a bunch of bars. Bring the bars back home and put them on the side for later.
Boil Milk
Now it’s time to boil up some milk. Add whole milk (or another milk variety if you prefer) to a pot and bring it to a boil. Once the milk is boiling, start breaking up the dark chocolate you bought into many little pieces, and proceed to add each piece of dark chocolate into the milk.
Stir It Up
Proceed to stir the dark chocolate pieces with the boiling milk, until the chocolate starts to melt and form a creamy texture. The milk should eventually turn brown, and soon you’ll have a clear mixture of hot chocolate. Now the recipe is essentially done, so pour your delicious hot drink into a mug and enjoy!

]]>Whipped Cream
Whipped cream and hot chocolate go hand in hand. Some people can’t imagine drinking this beverage without it, but it’s time you’ve started. Whipped cream is packed with calories and sugar and the less of it you consume, the better.
More Chocolate
From topping whipped cream with chocolate shavings to sticking a tiny chocolate bar inside it, it’s pretty popular to decorate hot chocolate with even more chocolate. It’s also completely unnecessary and unhealthy because you shouldn’t be adding more sweets to this sugar-rich beverage.
Marshmallows
The good thing about marshmallows is that they contain no fat, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re healthy. This popular hot chocolate topping is best avoided or at least used in moderation because it’s packed with sugar and your hot chocolate already contains a lot of sugar without it.

]]>Hot Chocolate With Holiday Spices
Hot chocolate is one of the ultimate holiday drinks, so why not add some festive spices to the mix to make this beverage even more delicious? Nutmeg and cinnamon are the most obvious choices, and Doan seems to love them as much as the rest of us.
Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
Fall will make way for winter in just a few days, but that doesn’t mean that pumpkin spice beverages are going away. A pumpkin spice latte is the first thing that comes to mind, but you can use this spice to take all sorts of other drinks to the next level—including hot chocolate.
Irish Cream Hot Chocolate
If you’re looking for a way to give your hot chocolate a boozy kick, a few drops of Bailey’s Irish Cream will do the trick. Doan went full Irish with this drink by topping it with some green sprinkles.

]]>The post 3 Useful Tips for Making the Most Delicious Hot Chocolate Bombs appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>Melting Your Chocolate
The first step of making hot chocolate bombs is melting your chocolate, and the way you do it makes all the difference. Never do it on high heat so your hot chocolate wouldn’t burn, and consider using the double boiler method, especially if you’re melting white chocolate.
Choice of Molds
Making hot chocolate bombs with the right molds is mission impossible and they might even break if you don’t make the right choice. Silicone molds are the safest bet because they’re flexible enough to get the frozen chocolate orbs out without a hitch. It’s up to you to pick the size that suits you, but it’s best to stick to 2.5 inches to make room for all the add-ins.
Sealing the Orbs
Even if you managed to take chocolate orbs out of the molds without any issues, you can still break them while trying to seal them. It’s a good idea to use silicone gloves when holding them so they wouldn’t start melting in your hands while you try to seal them.

]]>Hazelnut Toddy
Hazelnut toddy is one of the best boozy substitutes for hot chocolate, and you can easily make it on your own. Mix up some hot milk or water with Frangelico liquor, or replace it with hazelnut syrup if you want to make it alcohol-free.
Atole
This traditional Mexican drink is made with cornflour, cinnamon, vanilla, and brown sugar. It’s incredibly delicious, and you can make it even more so by adding some spices such as nutmeg to the mix.
Anijsmelk
Speaking of the specialties of foreign cuisine, this traditional Dutch drink will suit your taste if you love hot chocolate. Also known as spiced milk, you can make it with hot milk, anise side, and sugar and honey used as a sweetener.
Lebanese White Coffee
Despite what the name of this drink suggests, it actually contains no coffee beans. It’s made with caffeine-free orange blossom water and sugar, and it’s one of the healthiest substitutes for hot chocolate on the market.

]]>Espresso
When you can’t figure out if you want coffee or hot chocolate, why not have both? Get your caffeine boost by adding a shot of espresso to your hot chocolate.
Peppermint
Peppermint is a winter staple and it tastes amazing in hot chocolate. Aff some crushed candy canes or peppermint candies, mint chocolate chips, and a drop of mint or peppermint extract into your hot chocolate.
Booze
What’s better than hot chocolate?—spiked hot chocolate. Add a splash of Kahlua, bourbon, whiskey, amaretto, or Bailey’s Irish cream to your cup.
Ice Cream
Hot chocolate doesn’t always have to be hot and it’s even better when you add some vanilla ice cream to it.
Pumpkin
If you already love pumpkin spice lattes, you’ll enjoy adding a bit of pumpkin spice to your cup of cocoa. You won’t need to head to Starbucks to get your pumpkin fix.
