This Baileys Hot Chocolate is rich, thick, incredibly creamy, and packed with deep chocolate flavor, with a delicious splash of Baileys Irish Cream. Made with both real melted chocolate and cocoa powder, it's so much better than your average hot chocolate mix! After trying different combinations of chocolate and cocoa powder, I've found that using both creates the richest, most delicious chocolate flavor. A little heavy cream makes it extra luxurious without being too heavy, and the Baileys turns it into the perfect grown-up treat for cozy winter nights, Christmas parties, or simply curling up on the sofa with a big mug of chocolatey goodness!
