I love drinking hot chocolate during cold, winter nights. Just something about that hot drink, reminds me so much of my childhood days. Those days when my sisters and I would come in after a long day outside in the cold winter snow and my parents would make us hot chocolate with buttered toast. We dip the toast in our hot chocolate and it always felt like such a treat.

Now that I am older, I find making variations of hot chocolate is so much fun. From my simple kid-friendly 4-ingredient pink hot chocolate to my more complex pink hot chocolate, I love thinking up new hot chocolate recipes. Today, I decided to put a small spin on red velvet cake and made this simply delicious red velvet hot chocolate. It’s so creamy and good, that I definitely think I’ll be using this recipe in the future.
