We love holiday themed hot chocolate at our house! We serve white around Christmas and pink for Valentine's day.

Today I'm sharing this gorgeous green hot chocolate for St. Patrick's Day! Green also happens to be my favorite color, so I especially loved this one.

My girls are both big fans of hot chocolate, so they loved this too. It's sweet, creamy and the serving sizes are small and just the right amount. 

This is absolutely perfect for any cold day. You can skip the food coloring and use any sprinkles you may have on hand.

If you need a bigger batch for a party, just multiply for how many servings you need. It's a hit with almost everyone!
