How do you like your hot chocolate??

marshmallows, marshmallows, and more marshmallows. I put cool whip in it from time to time.

Love marshmellows, and everynow and then some whipcream...mmmm..

Plain because I only buy gourmet flavored cocoas.

You're welcome! (cinnamon is awesome in coffee too if you get in the mood for that at some point- apple cider and some teas too )

Whipped cream or coffee cream is good. I also like a little Irish cream on occasion.

I take Dean and Deluca coco, heavy cream, dehydrated cane sugar, and mix it with a vanilla marshmallow. It's a little slice of heaven, and tastes like a melted chocolate bar.
Here are the links for the stuff I use:

If cream were there, I'd choose cream!

Marshmallows are great, but homemade heavy whipped cream is my all time favorite! The Bear Claw Bakery in Pinole CA makes THE BEST hot chocolate IMO.

Why is peppermint schnapps not an option?

Once I discovered Ghiardelli cocoa powder I have not been the same. I buy milk, warm it up and go for it. It is on the pricey side, but so perfectly rich and wonderful. I have to try not to have some every night...just as a special treat. But...you get the picture

Reading all these posts has me drooling...hot chocolate is one of the few things I like about winter time.

I was thinking the same thing Allie! Peppermint schnapps in hot cocoa is the best on a cold winter's night, curled up in front of the fireplace with a kitty in your lap.... ahhhh, heaven.

It's also good for little holiday get-togethers, too. It's our drink of choice for our caroling party and it's nice after you come in from ice-skating or something and just want to relax and unwind!

I'm with you, girl!

I voted "plain". I buy the Carnation Light Hot Chocolate that you just add water to, so my category wasn't listed.

I've never had hot chocolate with marshmallows. Doesn't that make it really sweet? I tend to like my hot chocolate a bit on the bitter side.

How do I like it? With milk or cream, cinnamon, marshmallows and some Baileys (you know Baileys comes in chocolate mint now? that's freakin' awesome -- and I rarely even drink!) or Godiva liquer (sp?). How am I currently having it, since I started WW? Plain. *le sigh* (I know I could spend my flex points on the bells and whistles, but I hoard my points for a rainy [or snowy] day.)

Darn it, now I want hot chocolate, and there isn't any here at work. Must remember to purchase some tomorrow when I go grocery shopping ...

I make it with milk, cocoa, sugar, and a big helpful of whipping cream ... it's a once in a while treat to have the cream though. I love marshmallows but I never buy any.

marshmallows!!!!

I love mine with marshmellows. Lots of them!

I completly forgot to add Cream and Whipping Cream to the options

I always put a candy cane or pepermint candy in, I like the sticks though so I can stir it, but the pep schnops works on days like today!
