Who doesn’t love an indulgent mug of hot chocolate? A big mug filled with creamy, steaming, frothy hot chocolate, topped with cream and marshmallows is the perfect treat on a cold winter’s night. We’ve tried our fair share of hot chocolate powders, drops, chocolate chips, discs, and beads with varying results, and have shared our feedback here.
