Growing up, hot chocolate was always a favorite of mine, though I usually made the instant Nestlé Quick kind. Now that I’m older, I wanted something more refined—something indulgent yet sophisticated. On a quiet snow day last January, I decided to elevate this childhood favorite, using Ghirardelli white chocolate and a blend of warm spices. The result? A creamy, spiced white hot chocolate with just the right amount of heat to contrast its velvety sweetness. It’s the perfect drink to warm up with after a chilly day, whether you’re watching the snow fall or just craving something cozy.
