Unlike traditional hot cocoa, which is made with cocoa powder, white hot chocolate is made with white chocolate chips or bars, which give it a rich and decadent flavor.
The white chocolate is melted into the milk and heated on the stove, allowing the flavors to meld together and create a smooth and creamy drink.
When it’s cold outside, start up the fireplace, get your favorite slippers on, wrap up in a warm blanket and snuggle on the couch.
