Honey hot chocolate

Two clear mugs filled with honey hot chocolate and garnished with chocolate shavings sit on a white and gray marble countertop; fairy lights and a Signature card envelope lay nearby.

Hallmark makes traditional hot chocolate even sweeter in this Honey Hot Chocolate recipe. Bits of dark chocolate, half-and-half and milk create a rich hot chocolate. A splash of honey liqueur in each cup makes the drink extra warm and cozy for you, your honey and all of your favorite people.
