Ice Cream - Yep, Get your hot chocolate to almost boil, then add a scoop of your favorite flavor of ice cream. It's creamy deliciousness!
Cinnamon Sticks - I love the combo of cinnamon and chocolate!
Creamer - You don't have to be a coffee drinker to enjoy the sweet flavors of creamer! My favorite is Hazelnut.
Peppermint Candy - This adds a cooler taste to your hot cocoa. You can even try a York Peppermint Patty and get some nice chocolate swirling around your cup!
Peanut Butter - Just be sure to mix this really well to melt the peanut butter before you sip it!
Caramel - There is never anything wrong with mixing caramel with chocolate - why not try it in liquid form?
Vanilla - Simply add 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract - easy!
Orange Zest - Add some fresh orange zest for a sweet and tangy treat!
Chocolate Shavings - Chocolate on Chocolate... yes, please!
Marshmallows - A classic addition! Take it a step further and add flavored marshmallows or ones that have been dipped in dark chocolate - YUM!
One last reminder is to always use milk, not water. The packets say you can use either, and if you are out of milk, I guess water is fine, but what a difference some milk will make!

This was in a packet given to me by the Wayne County KY library, what a wonderful bunch of ideas to spruce up hot chocolate.
