Signature White Hot Chocolate

white and chocolate hot chocolate

Our Signature White Hot Chocolate is a quick way to warm up a cold day or prepare for a special holiday treat – this might be just what Santa wants when he stops by your house!

You can use milk or what ever milk substitute you prefer – we love the rich combination of milk and whipping cream (or half-and-half).

Other than the minute or two it takes to measure out the ingredients, White Hot Chocolate requires only that you stir it while it heats. You can even make it in a microwave.

Make this with our Cinnamon Chocolate, Pumped up Pumpkin Pie Spice Sugar, Lavender Sugar, Cinnamon Sugar, Cinnamon Vanilla Sugar, or any of our other sugars that strikes your interest.

(See also our Hot Chocolate recipe for a more traditional chocolate – hot chocolate.)

Gingery Molasses Cookies

These soft, chewy, rich, gingery molasses cookies are the perfect treat for a long, cold winters night. Our Signature Ginger Sugar enhances the normal molasses cookie flavor with a warm ginger note without being hot. Because our ginger sugar is made with turbinado sugar these cookies also have a satisfying crunch that makes their soft texture just that much more delicious.

These cookies are kind of addictive, it is hard to eat just one! We are sure Santa, himself would approve.

If you are looking for a new Christmas cookie to try this year, this is it!
