How to Make Snickerdoodle Hot Chocolate

  1. Heat up the half and half, heavy cream, sweet cream creamer, and white chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously and cook until the chocolate melts, about 2-3 minutes. Add in 1 teaspoon of divided cinnamon and stir. Keep on low heat and let it simmer for 3-4 more minutes or until it is heated all the way through. Do not heat it to a boil or you may scald the milk.
  2. Pour into mugs and set aside.
  3. Make cinnamon sugar by adding the remaining teaspoon of divided cinnamon into a small bowl with the granulated white sugar. Stir until combined.
  4. Top the mugs with whipped topping and cinnamon sugar, optional. Let cool to your preferred temperature and enjoy!

Storage Instructions

Due to the nature of hot chocolate, it’s best if you drink it right away. However, just in case you can’t, place any extra hot chocolate in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave when ready. Make sure to stir the hot chocolate since its ingredients will have separated.
