Recipes Drinks Recipes Hot Chocolate Recipes Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa 4.8 (16) 11 Reviews 6 Photos This dark hot chocolate drink was created when I was craving hot cocoa but I only had dark chocolate on hand. I added cinnamon for a festive touch. Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream or marshmallows, if desired. Serve hot.
