Hot chocolate, also known as cocoa, is one of the most decadent drinks for the cold weather. It's easy to make and comes together quickly so you won't have to wait long to enjoy it. Hot chocolate can be so much more than just a cup of hot water mixed with powder, though it's great like that too. Check out these delicious variations!
