Whipped Hot Cocoa transforms the classic winter brew by way of the fancy coffee shop down the way… and makes it a drink you’ll never turn down! Atop a glass of ice-cold milk is a whipped chocolate topping, straddling the line between a foam and a mousse that feels like a cloud of sweet, chocolate goodness. The result feels luxurious and refreshing while still providing that pure comfort that only chocolate can provide.
