This hot chocolate recipe is rich and creamy. It is packed with so much chocolate, sugar and cream!

Now, I LOVE chocolate, but I can only really eat it around the end of the year…You know, for the holidays. This has easily become the one hot chocolate recipe that I have given myself permission to enjoy once a year! Yes it is that darn rich and delicious. It is dessert in a cup! This is one of the desserts that my kids run to the kitchen to indulge right along with me.
