This Homemade White Chocolate Hot Chocolate recipe is a perfect treat for a cold winter’s day or for serving on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
This white chocolate hot chocolate recipe is one I have been making for years.
I first shared this recipe back in 2011. When I made it last weekend, I knew that it was time to update the recipe and share it again.
I actually didn’t update the recipe. I still make the recipe the exact same way. I did, however, update the pictures. My old post had one small, terrible image.
This recipe was long overdue for an update.
If you are looking for a holiday treat that is a little different, give this white chocolate hot chocolate recipe a try. It is rich, creamy, and delicious.
It made the perfect afternoon treat while I finished reading Family of Spies. If you are looking for a great nonfiction book for you or the nonfiction reader in your family, it is a great one.
If you prefer a rich, chocolate cup of hot chocolate, I think you will love Martha Stewart’s Homemade Hot Chocolate Recipe.

Sounds yummy! My favorite “adult” indulgence is to add some of the white chocolate Irish Cream to some hot chocolate– VERY good at bedtime!
