Everyone knows I love tea & absolutely can’t stand coffee, not even lattes, but my obsession this fall/winter has been hot chocolate. I love it so much I’m giving the gift of hot chocolate for Christmas this year.

My favorite brand is the Williams Sonoma brand because it consists of chocolate shavings reminiscent of that served in posh French cafes. It’s rich, velvety and absolutely delicious. They had three flavors this year; salted caramel, peppermint bark & dark chocolate.

Peppermint bark contains white chocolate, dark chocolate & peppermint shavings and is my absolute favorite.

You can’t have hot chocolate without marshmallows and Williams Sonoma has the best marshmallows too. Nice, big and fluffy and in two flavors this year, Peppermint and Vanilla.

They’re so good you can eat them right out of the box. What can I say? I love all things Williams Sonoma. The marshmallows are sold out for the season online but you can still find a few boxes in their stores.

Go get some and enjoy it through the winter months. Don’t forget the whipped cream!
