    Eggnog hot chocolate



    Eggnog hot chocolate sounds as amazing as it is. And while this isn't technically a baking dish, it is a holiday sweet treat so it counts...the fifth day of holiday baking I give you eggnog hot chocolate.

    I adapted this recipe from my foodie friend and fantastic fellow Chicago blogger Dani, and her blog Danilicious Dishes. She created a vegan and dairy free version. I took it and dairy-ed it right up and de-healthed it by adding liquor, because I have five kids and I need the liquor - I just do. It was just as delicious as I imagined. And I could not believe I had never thought of this before, the cinnamon added a warm spice and the chocolate makes it so very rich. It is thick and the liquor adds just the right amount of relaxation. When making for kids or on Christmas morning, of course, take out the liquor. One kid begged for this and I made minus the liquor, and it was just as awesome.

    This is the perfect after dinner drink for a holiday party, Christmas morning or while wrapping 550 presents in the few hours you are kid-free 🙂

      I've heard of eggnog hot chocolate, but I've never had a chance to prepare it at home. It's a perfect sweet treat for Christmas, so I can't wait to prepare it for my family and friends soon! 🙂

      What an interesting pairing. I never tried eggnog with hot chocolate before. I have to try this when I get back to the States.

      This looks delicious and makes me feel cosy just by looking at it. I would probably make it sometime but without the Brandy.

      Scheduled a pin of this one! This looks delicious. I wonder if swapping the brandy with rum would ruin it.

      My husband would probably really love this. He is a huge fan of both of these things. Egg nog and hot chocolate together would be awesome.
