Remarkable Hot Chocolates - Slashfood Ate (8)

Hot Chocolate for TwoI grew up on Swiss Miss hot chocolate - cocoa powder and hot water, as simple as that. While living in Paris, I tried rich thick hot chocolates that made my Swiss Miss alternative seem overly watery and lacking in flavor and texture. So, when I returned to NY, I became intrigued by the many different ways to make this simple drink more exquisite. Mexican hot chocolate is probably my favorite.

If you're looking to spice up your hot chocolate, you don't necessarily have to add anything to the combination besides water, milk, and chocolate. Think about using different kinds of chocolates. For example, a Mexican hot chocolate is made from chocolate that has often been blended with sugar, vanilla and spices, like cinnamon. Taza Chocolate in Somerville, Massachusetts produces a particularly delicious Mexican chocolate that you can purchase online. It's amazing what cinnamon does for hot chocolate.

Of course, you can also create different hot chocolates by adding some rum and a variety of creams. Check out these 8 remarkable hot chocolate recipes below and let us know which ones are your favorite:

  1. Mexican Hot Chocolate
  2. Belgian Hot Chocolate
  3. Hot Chocolate from The Barefoot Contessa
  4. Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style
  5. Hot Chocolate with Rum
  6. Superrich Hot Chocolate with Coconut Cream
  7. Hot Chocolate Passion
  8. Martha Stewart's White Hot Chocolate
