Nutella hot chocolate!

Why has it taken me so long to discover this?

I first tried Nutella, probably, 15-16 years ago. I was warned that it was addictive.

We'd spread it on chewy Italian rolls. Dangerous. Damn you, Nutella!

It didn't take long for me to recognize the slippery slope I was headed towards. So Nutella rarely found its way onto my grocery list.

BUT, I heard about using Nutella as the base for hot chocolate and just had to try it.

So glad I did. It's so easy.

Versatile too! Jackie and I enjoyed various versions -- plain, with regular whiskey, with cinnamon whiskey, unsweetened whipped cream, sweetened whipped cream.

It was allllll good!

So many ways to modify this basic Nutella Hot Chocolate!

One of my favorites is to add a shot of whiskey. Jack Daniels is delicious. Fireball Whiskey is pretty good too!
