The Happiest Hour {Coconut Hot Chocolate}

Yep. I said it. Coconut hot chocolate. Oh, and it tastes better than it sounds. Made with cocoa, pieces of dark chocolate and coconut milk, this cold weather treat is rich and truly indulgent. I topped it with dollop of whipped cream and (my favorite part) toasted coconut flakes. The overall coconut flavor was subtle and the perfect complement to the creamy dark chocolate. I can't wait to indulge in a few more glasses as the temperatures continue to drop. Here's the recipe!

:: Ingredients ::
1 Cup 2% Milk
1 Can Lite Coconut Milk
2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
2 Tablespoons Sugar
3.5 Ounces Dark Chocolate (broken into small pieces)
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

:: Directions ::
1. Mix all ingredients in a medium sauce pan and stir over medium heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is hot.
2. Top with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes.

This Party Inspired By {Hot Chocolate}

If it's cold outside, nothing beats a nice warm, creamy mug of hot chocolate. And with temperatures finally cooling down here, it's just about time for a nice big glass! But until the temperatures finally reach hot chocolate weather, I suppose I will just tide myself over with a lovely bash inspired by the decadent treat. Warm shades of brown accented by soft shades of cream is the perfect pallet for a winter soiree. They make you feel cozy and are bound to make your guests feel at welcome!
