Irish Cream Hot Chocolate

Hey friends, sorry it’s been a week since I last posted, but I figured I’d start the week off strong (literally) with this Irish Cream Hot Chocolate. I got a little caught up in the holiday and family visiting and a little behind thanks to prepping for my big European Christmas Market Trip.

I’m currently sitting in the airport in Paris waiting for everyone else to get here before we set off, and wish I had one of these mugs in hand to wake me up or put me to sleep, honestly, I’m not really sure right now, I’m in that weird in-between of not having slept in over 24 hours and not wanting jet leg to get the best of me during this trip.

So anyway, I love specialty hot chocolates. I try to find the best ones everywhere I go and I try to create fun ones at home to sip throughout the chilly New England months. And, of course, my favorite way to spruce them up is by spiking them!

This Irish Cream Hot Chocolate is made with my delicious Homemade Irish Cream, powdered sugar, chocolate, and creamy whole milk. You can top it with homemade whipped cream, homemade marshmallows, or skip the toppings (but why would you?). This delicious hot chocolate cocktail will last you through the holidays and right on to St. Patrick’s Day!
