No, I'm not talking about the legendary band who's hits included 'Sexy Thing'!

I'm referring to the warm cocoa drink that's being celebrated today in recognition of... <drumroll> National Hot Chocolate Day!


hot chocolate being poured into a cup

So, a little belatedly to the hot chocolate partay, I'm asking you:
  • Do you like hot chocolate? 
  • And if so - How do you like it? Squirty cream? Marshmallows? Sprinkles? 

Let me know your chocolatey thoughts in the comments below! :)

    I do, it’s very rare though, a treat once and a while since I’m type one diabetic.

    Yeah I'm on the cusp of type 2, so it's a once in a blue moon treat for me as well.

    I like hot chocolate well enough but if I’m out and about I’d rather have a cappuccino

    Back when they were open pre all 3 lockdowns I was addicted to Starbucks hot chocolate, well seeing as again pre lockdown I was going to Cineworld a minimum of twice a week, it was worth it.

    How do you make a velvet cupcake Bailey's hot chocolate @Pandapaws? It sounds extravagant!

    @Tori_Scope you need to have the baileys red velvet cupcake drink, and you can pour in how ever much you like ? just a normal drink size will do it
