slo’s THURSDAY 12/18 poll - Hot Chocolate

[amcnj]

I like it but rarely have it. And even rarer at home. In general I am not a big hot beverage drinker and as a result just don’t think of those types of drinks.

It will be a tasty blessing to enjoy hot chocolate again whenI am home. My favorite is Kroger Milk Chocolate Hot Chocolate from Ralph's made with milk not water.

I love hot chocolate but rarely drink it. I'm not a coffee drinker and often a hot chocolate drink at a the "coffee shops" is what I order, especially white hot chocolate. I think I'll make this a 2026 goal ~ MORE HOT CHOCOLATE. I have some specialty hot chocolate from St. Augustine [Whetstone Chocolate] I'll start with this week!

Love hot cocoa! I prefer whipped cream, but will add marshmallows if no whipped cream is available. I only drink it occasionally though, mostly in November and December.

I like it, but it's one of those things I'll have like once or twice a year at most.

I have a Velvetizer to make hot chocolate. It froths the milk while heating it up and melting chocolate into it. YUM!

We drink quite a bit of cocoa year round, but mostly in the winter.

I also buy Lindt cocoa that makes a small cup, but it's make the European way that is like eating hot pudding. I had it the first time in Florence in the Lindt store. I was hooked!

Since I’m not a coffee or tea person I get hot chocolate when we go to a coffee shop in the winter.

I also make hot chocolate on a cruise if watching the fireworks or it’s windy on deck.

Love hot cocoa. I like to add a little cayenne to it sometimes.

 

[evilmommie]

I LOVE hot chocolate. I don’t have it that often, as I watch my sugar..but man it’s delicious. I also love to put hot cocoa bars together during with holidays when we are hosting. All the goodies are so fun to top! I just picked up a bottle of Bailey’s for that reason.

 

[MamaMermaid]

I love hot chocolate!! I make mine with milk and add marshmallows.

It's occurred to me recently that I'm not a hot chocolate person because I'm not a hot drinks person, in general. I don't drink coffee, if I make my tea beverage of choice pre-performance I have to bring it down to room temp, etc. I think it's because I want to be able to drink it as soon as it's handed to me but with hot bevs, that usually means burning my mouth. By the time it is ready to drink, the desire has already passed or the drink gets cold so quickly that it becomes a bit of a nothing.

I'm not a big fan of hot chocolate, it's just okay. My kids will maybe have a few cups over the course of a winter, most often if it's snowed. I think one of them stirs in some chocolate chips to make it even more chocolaty, but no other adders. If I'm going to have a warm seasonal drink, I'd take a mug of warm apple cider over hot chocolate any day!

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I drink it on rare occasion. I am not too creative, I just have the stuff that you mix with a powder. I have tried the K Cups too.

 

[disneydreamer1980]

I’ll drink it but only if I’m outside in the cold. Like at Disney last January, it was in the 40s every day of one of our two weeks there and we hit up every Joffreys and quick service place selling hot chocolate. Hopefully it won’t be so cold this January and we won’t need so much hot chocolate. Some places in Disney just give you hot water and a hot chocolate packet to mix yourself and some places have good pre mixed, and we became experts on which place had what lol.

My youngest however absolutely loves it and asks for it constantly. It’s funny, this morning while grocery shopping I bought this huge hot chocolate sampler with all different flavors for him to try.

Yes I drink hot chocolate.
I accidentally bought some with marshmallows, but other wise I generally drink it straight. Okay, if I have cream in the house, I might put a dash in to richen it up.

 

[hardcorestitch]

I think I saw some Joffrey’s thin mint hot chocolate at a Marshall’s in my area. Might put that in as a stocking stuffer…

 

[WDW_fan_in_TX]

Hot chocolate drinker here. I just buy the box of Swiss Miss packs or whatever they're called. Not a fan of the mushrooms, but I do just buy that, heat the water then pour in and stir. Easy peavey. DW doesn't like hot chocolate, so I just buy the cheap ones.

 

[lovesmurfs]

I don't drink it often, but when I do, it's all about the Peppermint Schnapps.

Please tell me that "mushrooms" is an autocorrect for "marshmallows." Please.

I like it. Don't have it often.
When I do make it .....no packages. Milk, cocoa powder and sweetener. I don't add anything.

Just like my Mom did, Nancy.
