5 Things I’d Do for Hot Chocolate

Truth be told, hot chocolate and I are frenemies. Sometimes when I partake, it makes me feel unhealthy and guilty. And on those days, I'm like, "Hot chocolate totally knows what it's doing to me when we hang out, but it really could give a crap."

But other times, like today, I want it shower with love for all the warmth and cocoa-magic it often brings into my life. So in honor of our relationship, here's a list of the things I'd like do to make hot chocolate feel as happy as it makes me (well, today, at least).

1. Give it a makeover:

(Aztec Hot Chocolate, $19, mariebelle.com)

(Jacques Torres Hot Chocolate, $18, mrchocolate.com)

2. Buy it a new outfit:

(ego coffee cup & saucer, $38, hivemodern.com)

(Coffee Cup & Saucer, $95, maxwellsilverny.com)

3. Encourage it to accessorize:

(French Roast Coffee Cup Sweater, $15, CuffeShop at etsy.com)

(Cuff, $16, byrdandbelle at etsy.com)

4. Introduce it to my friends:

(King Leo Soft Peppermint Stick Candy - for stirring - $10.05, amazon.com)

5. Tickle fights:

TOTALLY. Get the hot chocolate bars at mariebelle.com (I listed their hot chocolate above--amazing) and check out my post on Mast Brothers Chocolate at http://bit.ly/32008a. And I'm always up for some Cadbury dark choc!

(Oh, hot chocolate for Amy, do you know how good you have it?!) Have totally been in a hot-choc type of mood all day! Love, love your recs. A dash of cayenne pepper and cinnamon would also make your hot chocolate spicy (ooh, la, la...)! XO
