Do You Like Hot Chocolate/Cocoa?

[MIGrandma]

I do. I'm lazy and just use the packaged kinds, usually Swiss Miss.

Some years DH gets me a gift box of hot chocolate mixes for Christmas, and most times they are made by a company I've never heard of and don't taste very good.

But this year he got me a Swiss Miss set of 4 different kinds: milk chocolate, French vanilla, mint chocolate, and caramel cream. Each box has 4 envelopes. I tried the caramel cream this afternoon and oh my, I don't even want to share! It's really, really good!!

I LOVE hot chocolate/cocoa. I won't touch coffee with a ten foot pole, so this is my OMG I'm cold and I need to warm up drink. DD12 loves it as much as I do.

Yes, it's a yummy drink.

I don't like hot chocolate. My family thinks I'm weird.

I love Hot Chocolate on a cold winter's day. Tomorrow is supposed to be below freezing so it will be a good day for some.

Love it! I hate coffee! I just made hot cocoa from scratch this past weekend and man.....now we're all spoiled!
It was so easy to make and I couldn't believe how freakin' yummy it was!

I love hot chocolate! In fact, I bought my family a Bialetti hot cocoa maker from Crate & Barrel for Christmas. It makes hot chocolate as good as Starbucks! You can use hot chocolate mix, but the best I made was when I put in milk, a little sugar, and the shavings from a ghiradelli dark chocolate bar. The machine heats and mixes at the same time. There is even a frothing attachment you can add, but I find it's pretty "frothed" with just regular mixing. I don't think I'll ever go back to the old boiling water & mix in a mug again!

I love a good cup of hot cocoa made with whole milk and some marshmallows or fluff. I don't drink it often though.

We love the Ghiradelli Premium Hot Cocoa - Choclate Hazelnut and make it with milk and add whip cream and sprinkle cocoa on top. Mmmm, Mmm good!

We just bought the kids the Mr. Coffee hot cocoa maker from Walmart, it does the same as yours...heats, mixes, froths at the same time. We love it! We drink a lot of cocoa and its easy enough for dd10 and ds 8 to use it by themselves if they want a quick cup...it takes maybe 2 minutes for a single cup....about 5-6 for a full pot (4 cups)

I love hot chocolate and will also put whipped cream on it if I have any home. I don't have it often though.

You know, I am really weird. I LOVE Chocolate in fact I pretty much won't eat anything sweet unless it has chocolate in it. However, I really don't care for hot choc. maybe it is because I am such a coffee freak and I associate something hot to drink with coffee. Oh well, my kiddos love it so I make it home made for them with marshmallows.

That's exactly how I am! It's good to know I'm not the only one.

LOL I'm drinking some right now we don;t really drink coffee and this is "our" coffee and the swiss miss is the best and only $1 a box can't beat that...

edited to add: I put a little flavored coffee mate in it to make it different flavors ..right now I have chocolate mint truffle...this is awesome...

 

[Meriweather]

I don't have it very often, but I make it from scratch.
Fat free milk, Hershey's cocoa powder and Splenda.
Yummy.....just can't drink the packaged stuff

 

[Plannin'Shannon]

The only kind I drink is Raspberry Hot Chocolate. Best I've ever had, and I can't settle for anything else anymore!

 

[ZachnElli]

I LOVE hot cocoa! It's my favorite drink! I've never had a homemade kind that I like though, they are never chocolately enough.

I love Tim Hortons hot chocolate! DS got me a big can of the mix for Christmas. Another goodie is Tim Hortons Caramel Hot Smoothie......DS calls it "the cup of love."
