Non-Dairy Mexican Drinking Chocolate
There’s nothing better than a warm drink on a chilly day, and this recipe might be our favorite winter sip we’ve tried. If you’re a chocolate lover, this rich, creamy Mexican drinking chocolate is what dreams are made of… and it’s surprisingly simple to make. This thick, chocolate-y confection is perfect for dipping cookies or churros in, or add a bit more almond milk for a more drinkable version. If you’re planning a holiday get-together, whip up this sweet hot chocolate on the stove and serve it in one of our new favorite LC Lauren Conrad mug and spoon sets. Or use this as the perfect personalized gift—just write out the recipe on a card and wrap it up in a set with one of these mugs.
