What is better than a steaming mug of eggnog on a cold winter’s night? Warm eggnog, mixed with frothy milk, white chocolate, and dusted with fresh ground nutmeg! Our family and friends love eggnog, and this Eggnog Hot Chocolate makes any gathering special. You can even double the recipe and make in the slow cooker for a crowd, or to have ready for when the kids come in to warm up. Top with frothed milk or whipped cream for an extra-special treat!
I used white chocolate, but you can use milk chocolate, too! Leave this out for Santa with some cookies, and he will always look forward to coming to your house.
