I love hot chocolate. During the cold months is when I really enjoy a nice warm mug of hot chocolate even more. However, hot chocolate is good throughout the year. You can make it a nice drink to have during the summer months just like you can make it for the cold months.

10. Mexican Style Hot Chocolate
I don’t know about you but sometimes I love to dig into a plate of Mexican food. Have you ever tried Mexican Style Hot Chocolate? If you haven’t then you’re missing out on a treat. Mexican style hot chocolate tends to be creamy and warm. One of my favorite things about it is there’s just a small hint of delicious cinnamon with it. The ground clove also makes this recipe extra special. Here’s the link for it if you’re interested in making it:allrecipes.com
9. Peppermint Hot Chocolate
I have recently discovered that having peppermint hot chocolate at Barnes & Noble is one of my favorite things to do now. If it’s cold outside and you want a hot drink besides coffee then peppermint hot chocolate is something that you might enjoy having. I didn’t enjoy it very much as a child but as an adult, I love it. I think it’s also a great drink to have right after a meal with some friends. If you’re not sure what to have for dessert, just go with this and you’ll be pleased. A candy cane stirrer for this drink is just ideal. Check out the recipe for it right here: foodnetwork.com
8. Red Velvet Hot Chocolate
If you have never tried red velvet hot chocolate before and you already know that you like red velvet cake then this is something that you must try. You also have to top it off with whipped cream that’s cream cheese flavored. This also taste great with whipped cream and marshmallows on top. If you’re having a few people over and not sure what drink to serve, surprise them with this one. Check out the recipe for it right here: mccormick.com
7. Aztec Hot Chocolate
This is one hot chocolate recipe that I have to pass but my friends all love it. The reason why I don’t like it as much is because in order to make this recipe perfect you need add in a touch of cayenne. You don’t have to add it in but it is what makes this hot chocolate drink taste so different from the rest of them. It does take around 10 minutes to make and there are some directions that you’ll need to follow so it is more complicated than some of the other recipes but if you like spicy drinks then go for this spicy hot chocolate drink. Check out the recipe for it right here: foodnetwork.com
6. Mocha Hot Chocolate
Mocha hot chocolate is not a drink for the kids. It’s only one for the adults because you’ll be adding in some instant coffee grounds in the drink. If you love hot chocolate and trying to find a way to get a boost during the day then this is one of the best ways to do it. You can also make this one spicy by adding in cayenne pepper or you can make it non-spicy. I always go for the non-spicy mocha hot chocolate drink.

5. Frozen Hot Chocolate
Yes. You read that correctly. Frozen hot chocolate is only something I just recently discovered at Books a Million and I just love it. I can’t seem to find this delicious drink anywhere else. During summer I really enjoy this drink the most. It’s hot chocolate but at the same time it’s frozen, which is why it’s good during the summer. Some like to put daiquiri in their drink but I always skip out on adding that in with it and just enjoy the frozen hot chocolate drink by itself. Here’s the recipe link for frozen hot chocolate with the daiquiri in it: foodnetwork.com
4. Snow Flake Hot Chocolate
I think that the snow flake hot chocolate drink is very pretty and the name for it is perfect. The one thing that you should know is that it does take around 2 hours and 30 minutes to cook so it’s not as fast as some of the other hot chocolate drinks out there. The preparation is quick but the drink itself is not. You’ll also need to make sure that you stir it occasionally when you’re making it so it’s something that you just cannot leave by its own. If you don’t mind waiting and if you like candy canes and white chocolate chips then this is one recipe you must try. The link for it is here: allrecipes.com
3. Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
Pumpkin spice hot chocolate is a perfect fall drink because of the pumpkin flavor in it. Sure, you can have it in the winter time but there’s just something special about having this drink during the fall. It’s creamy and rich tasting and a wonderful treat to have. Some people say it’s too sweet but others just love it and I happen to be one of those that just love having this drink. If you’re wanting some hot chocolate in the fall here’s the recipe link: allrecipes.com
2. Peanut Buttercup Hot Chocolate
I’m a big fan of peanut butter and a big fan of hot chocolate. If you’re like me then this is a perfect combination together that you must try. I can already tell you that it’s going to be one of those things that you either love or hate and part of that is because of the combination with it, so if you’re not a peanut butter lover then you might want to skip this and try something else. On the plus side, it is very easy to make. Check out the recipe link for it right here: allrecipes.com

Next to the old fashioned way of having hot chocolate, nutella hot chocolate is my favorite. If you love nutella then you’ll instantly love having hot chocolate like this.
