Now I know a lot of people who use packets of “hot chocolate”, but once you you see how easy it is to make it from scratch you’ll ditch the packets for good, I promise!
The best taste comes from the best ingredients, which only you can control when you make it yourself. If you have a packet of hot chocolate at home, take a look at the ingredients and please post them in the comments below.
Now take a look at what we use: non gmo vegan milk, fair trade cocoa powder, organic vanilla and turbinado sugar.
I love when a product available in the mainstream world is vegan. Torani syrups actually have a LOT of vegan flavors like Butterschotch, French Vanilla, Peppermint and Gingerbread but you can use their allergen chart to determine exactly which flavors are vegan. The flavors are so varied and delicious, I can’t wait to try more recipes with them for the spring and summer too.
Don’t forget, Torani Syrups are available at your local coffee shops and grocery stores across the country making it super easy to buy and use. You may flavor each cup of cocoa individually so that everyone can have a different kind. Super fun for the kids, and me!
