Why We Love This Recipe

This hot chocolate is an extra special way to treat your family and friends – it’s like a warm hug in a glass. Have you ever had a nice glass of Cabernet or Pinot Noir with a rich piece of chocolate cake or chocolate candy? It was fantastic – right?! Well, that’s what you have with this drink…the best of both worlds…chocolate and red wine.

Use Your Favorite Red Wine

You can use just about any type of red wine that’s not too sweet for this recipe. And make sure it’s a red wine that you would drink by itself. No cheap wines for this recipe. But you don’t need to go overboard on cost either. Here’s what I would suggest, in the order of what I would use:

1. Cabernet Sauvignon
2. Pinot Noir
3. Merlot

Any of these would make a good option for this drink. And make sure you have marshmallows and some chocolate sauce to drizzle on top!
