Executive Pastry Chef Peter Calhoun makes his own from scratch and then dips them in chocolate and coca nibs. But don&#8217;t underestimate the hot chocolate, which is made with Dutch process cocoa, whole milk powder and vanilla powder (the secret ingredient). The resort, located on the banks of Otsego Lake, has a \u201cCurl Up and Unwind Special\u201d with rates starting at $149, and includes the chef\u2019s signature hot chocolate mix as part of the special.<br \/>\n<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s an adults-only hot chocolate at the Corner Tavern and Caf\u00e9 in Cumberland, MD, where it is transformed into hot rum mocha.

They suggest using between 60 to 80 percent coca when making it at home. Next steps \u2014 adding bits of milk chocolate, torched marshmallows and dark chocolate flavorings. They also use different flavors and liquors, such as bourbon, for some variety. They also use espresso machines to make the cocas milk aerated and frothy.<br \/>\n<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>At BOOMBOX Frozen Pops &amp; Ice Cream in Lake Charles, LA., its hot chocolate may remind you of your childhood. They boil whole milk, Hershey\u2019s coca powder and sea salt together and then froth it to give it a little bit of fluff. They also make homemade marshmallows and torch it to give it a golden exterior.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.otesaga.com\">www.otesaga.com<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cornertaverncafe.com\"><span class=\"s2\">www.cornertaverncafe.com<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.onespartanburginc.com\"><span class=\"s2\">www.onespartanburginc.com<br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.boomboxpops.com\">www.boomboxpops.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of tour favorite things in winter is hot chocolate \u2014 rich and creamy with lots of whipped cream.
