Ah..... chocolate beverages.
What could be better?
Nothing.
And you know it.
Sweet, delicious chocolate milk.
My favorite.
But next to chocolate milk...
Confession: Hot Chocolate is the best beverage ever.
All it takes is a tiny steaming cup of hot chocolate, topped with whipped cream, sprinkles, and maybe some chocolate sauce, and you have dessert in a cup.
You don't need a lot of it,
it always tastes amazing,
there are plenty of varieties out there,
and it's good for you.
Who could hate this cup of pure happiness?
It's like drinking a rainbow.
Okay, maybe I was making up the part about it being good for you.
Naw, it's good for you.
:o)
What a nice treat!
It's officially winter.
So it's probably time to start having some hot chocolate.
You know, looking at these pictures, I know that you want to have some hot chocolate now.
