I love this hot chocolate when I’m hanging out with girlfriends watching movies or playing board games on cold winter nights. For a more natural alternative, this recipe can be made with an all-natural cocoa (though it will be a bit higher in calories). Just add 1 tablespoon of Bailey’s Irish Cream for every 5 ounces of prepared hot cocoa.
