Y’all I drank my weight in French Hot Chocolate when I went to Paris. It soothes my souI for reals so you know I had to make a copycat at home. My version is super creamy and smooth because I use a mix of heavy cream, milk and real chocolate. And just warning you, that chocolate flavor is intense. I have nothing against Swiss Miss but if you’ve got the time, get at this boos.

Ms. Jocelyn Adams,
Thank you so very much for sharing this recipe. I have a question I’m hoping you can answer. You mentioned being able to refrigerate in an airtight container up to five days. Have you ever tried freezing it in large ice cube trays to bag and have on hand for later? Thank you.
Thank you Ms. Monica for making my recipe. I have not tired freezing it, but don’t see why you couldn’t! If you try it let me know how it turns out.
Your presentation is beautiful and tempting! One idea I have is to use seasonal Peeps for a little fun. Peeps now come in ghost, candy cane, and pumpkin shapes!
