It’s beginning to look and feel a lot like Christmas around here! Even though it’s been awhile since it last snowed, there’s still snow on the ground and the air is chilly. I’m staying warm indoors with my fuzzy boots, leggings and favorite sweatshirt.

My kids, on the other hand, are like most kids and just want to be outside playing. They’ve been having fun making snow angels and sledding on the hill by our house. They never complain about being cold until I ask them to come inside. Then all I hear is, “Mom, I’m freezing! Can you please make us hot chocolate?”

Making my kids cups of hot chocolate brings back fond memories of my childhood. After an afternoon of sledding, my friends and I would come back to my house and drink hot chocolate together. It was such a fun time together and nothing was more satisfying and warmed me up more than a warm cup of hot chocolate topped with marshmallows. 

My kids aren’t too picky — they like their hot chocolate plain but they think it’s a real treat when I add marshmallows, whipped cream, peppermint candies, or caramel topping!

International Delight makes it easy to enjoy hot chocolate any time you want it with their new Heat & Drink Hot Chocolate. Choose from creamy milk chocolate or decadent dark chocolate. Both are made with real milk, sugar and cocoa.

Simply pour into your favorite cup and heat in the microwave for a delicious treat! In addition to the new Hot Chocolate, International Delight offers another holiday favorite — Egg Nog, available in Classic and Very Vanilla flavors.

I’m a huge fan of chocolate, caramel and sea salt together, so I decided it would be fun to use the International Delight Hot Chocolate to create a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate for the kids and I to enjoy. It was so easy to make and it turned out delicious!

All you need to make your own Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate is International Delight Hot Chocolate (milk chocolate or dark chocolate), caramel topping, whipped cream and coarse sea salt.

It’s as simple as warming up the hot chocolate and caramel in your favorite cup, stirring it all together, and then topping it with whipped cream, more caramel, and a sprinkle of sea salt. It’s rich, creamy, and truly decadent!
