I generally don’t like to mess around with the classics — and if there’s an iconic hot drink that doesn’t need to be messed around with it’s hot chocolate. But this simple seasonal twist really was incredible. That’s coming from someone who doesn’t like pumpkin spiced anything, but there’s just something special about the way the ginger and cinnamon compliment the cocoa that makes this an absolutely perfect cold weather drink.
Plus, I can’t think of an easier, more perfect edible gift. Just mix it up, transfer it into an appropriate container, slap on a bow, and you’re good to go. As I joked about in the video, this stuff is so good that no one will care how little time, effort, and money you spent on them. But, whether you make this for yourself, or someone on your gift list, or both, I really do hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy!
