Top Hot Chocolate Recipes

By Sean Paajanen, About.com

You can get just as creative with hot chocolate as you can with coffee, so why not try out some of the most popular hot chocolate recipes I have.

President's Hot Chocolate

Hot chocolate that's good enough for the White House, with both milk and light cream. No fuss with melted chocolate, since it's made with cocoa powder. Give it a whisk for a foamy touch.

Aztec Chili Hot Chocolate

The Aztecs were the first to serve chocolate as a drink, but they also mixed it with hot chili pepper to make a really special beverage. Try something exotic with your hot chocolate today. You can always reduce the amount of chili if it's too hot for you.

Parisan Warm Chocolate

Downright decadent. This hot chocolate recipe calls for heavy cream and whole milk. No need for spices or other flavours when you have real chocolate and cream.

Chocolate Caliente

A rich hot chocolate recipe, made with real chocolate and whisked with vanilla. A few more pinches of spice gives this recipe a unique but subtle flavour all its own.

Mexican Hot Chocolate

Hot cocoa recipe with a bit of coffee and cinnamon. You can't beat hot chocolate made with real melted chocolate, especially with the added cinnamon.

Decadent Hot Chocolate

This hot chocolate recipe calls for two different kinds of chocolate, and it's whipped frothy. The half and half cream makes for an extra rich cup of cocoa.

Brown Sugar Hot Cocoa

Lots of brown sugar makes this cocoa recipe extra sweet. You can still taste the real chocolate thats melted into this hot cocoa.

Special Hot Chocolate

It's special because it's so simple. Using unsweetened chocolate brings out the bold cocoa flavour. You'll be making this hot chocolate all winter long.

White Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Even the whipped cream topping in this recipe is minty. The white chocolate is so much more mellow than dark, but the mint really adds a fresh spark to this hot chocolate. Ideal for Christmas.

Grand Marnier Hot Chocolate

Thick with cream, real melted chocolate, Grand Marnier and a hint of orange zest. You'll get a pretty strong cup of hot chocolate with this recipe, so don't let the innocent orange taste fool you.
