Decadent Hot Chocolate

One of the great pleasures around this time of year is sipping on a cup of rich homemade hot chocolate. This little secret helps you reach a thicker consistency. Use just a tiny bit of chocolate pudding powder to make your hot chocolate luxuriously thick and creamy. Sometimes, a pinch of cinnamon is all it takes to turn your mug into the taste of Christmas. We also like to add a cinnamon stick to give it a rustic wintry look.
