Notes

  • Use whipped cream and candy canes to make this hot chocolate a little more indulgent, or you can just leave them out.
  • We used a mixture of skimmed milk and coconut milk, but you could use just skimmed milk to make this lower in calories.
  • Want to keep this vegan? Use almond milk and swap the honey for maple syrup.
