    Because we’re all getting into the sweet Holiday spirit, I thought a sweet and boozy nightcap sounded deliciously festive! So therefore, Boozy White Hot Chocolate was born and let me tell you, this is such a treat!

    White Hot Chocolate

    Confession: I can’t eat regular dark or milk chocolate, so I have to succumb to the sweet white chocolate and sometimes it’s not exactly my favorite. So my advice is to get the best quality white chocolate you can find. I used Ghirardelli, which is delicious! It’s sweet and melts perfectly but doesn’t offer that odd and chalky aftertaste that the cheaper brands do.

    A Few quick Tips:

    • Let the milk and chocolate slowly melt together and not boil, which can burn both the milk and chocolate.
    • Use the BEST quality white chocolate you can find, such as Ghiradelli or Valrhona
    • If you don't have a nut liqueur such as Frangelico or Amaretto, Rum or Whiskey would be delicious!
    • You can also omit the alcohol and add a splash of vanilla extract for another layer of flavor.

      I added some vanilla and used Rumchata; it was very sweet and a huge hit at my book club.
