I just love hot chocolate in winter! Usually I go for a little milk and the powdered mix. (It’s simple. It’s good!) But here lately I’ve been wanting to experiment with a little Nutella. With just two ingredients (milk and Nutella) you can make a perfectly delicious cup of Nutella Hot Chocolate:
Or for something a little more sweet and fun, we just add a little whipped cream and sugar sprinkles!
But since I wanted to make a nice presentation for you guys, I decided this hot chocolate needed a little something extra. Enter the chocolate wafers and Valentine Peeps. The folks at the Peeps company recently sent me an assortment of their Valentine products:
I’ve been trying some of these out and they are delicious! For the hot chocolate, I made a little skewer of Vanilla Creme Marshmallow Peeps and Strawberry Creme Marshmallow Peep! They were a great treat to go with the hot chocolate. Check out the recipe!
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
2-3 tablespoons Nutella
Whipped Cream
Sprinkles
Directions:
Pour one cup of milk in to a microwave safe coffee cup. Heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in two to three tablespoons of Nutella (3 for a really strong, rich hot chocolate or 2 for a weaker hot chocolate).
Top with whipped cream and candy sprinkles. (Or add marshmallows if your prefer).
Dress it up with some Valentine Peeps, Chocolate Wafers or other decoration. (optional)
Drink and enjoy!

I don’t think I can explain how much I love Nutella! Oh, My, Yum! This looks delish. I love the way you photographed it too. I’m stopping by from SITS & I hope you have a great Saturday!
This looks very yummy, but it’s really hard to read. There’s a pop up add that I can’t X out of that takes up half the screen, no matter how many times I’ve hit X. It’s just making it difficult and I can’t view whole pictures at a time. But it really does look delicious!
Well that looks absolutely delicious! I know what I will be having tonight!!
