Vegan Hot Chocolate

I have been enjoying Vegan Hot Chocolate and Hot Cocoa lately. Some of you may be wondering what the difference is.

Hot Cocoa has cocoa powder, or my personal preference, raw cacao powder. Hot Chocolate has grated chocolate in it, so it contains all the ingredients of whatever chocolate you are using, like sugar and vanilla.

I personally prefer hot chocolate over hot cocoa, probably because it is rich and thick from the dark chocolate being melted down, but I will gladly drink either one.

First, I made Vegan Mexican Hot Chocolate because Mexican dark chocolate is one of my favorite treats. If you have never had Mexican chocolate, I highly recommend trying it. It has a distinctive rich flavor and has a grainy texture.

Then, I made a Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa, with a peanut butter and chocolate drizzle on top. What can I say, I am on a hot chocolate and hot cocoa kick!

I will admit, I really love dark chocolate, and have had it in my house consistently the last few months. While many people were eating cookies and fudge for the holidays, I was eating dark chocolate, and now I am drinking it.

This tastes great as a cocktail too. I added about one and a half ounces of vodka per cup. The warming sensation from the Vegan Hot Chocolate and the vodka reminded me of a hot toddy, which is another Winter favorite of mine.
