Last year, it seemed like every party I went to, restaurant I visited or gathering I attended, they had a grown up hot chocolate on the menu. I mean, it’s basically just hot chocolate with Fireball Whiskey in it, but still, I noted it and thought I’d remind you grown ups out there that it’s suuuuuuper easy to make at home too! My favorite recipes are the ones that aren’t even a recipe…just an idea 🙂 .

Grown Up Hot Chocolate
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 4 to 6 1x
Description
A cozy sip for seasonal gatherings!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups of milk (I use 2%)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 4 shots of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky or Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire
- light Karo syrup for rimming the glasses
- red sugar sprinkles for rimming the glasses
- peppermint marshmallows for garnishing
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, stir in your sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips melt.
- Next, whisk in your milk and vanilla. Once combined, remove from heat and whisk in your Fireball.
- To rim your glasses, I pour a little light Karo syrup on a plane and the then add my glass rims to them, getting them coated. I then dip my glass rims in a bowl of sugar sprinkles. Turn right side up, add your hot chocolate and garnish with peppermint marshmallows.
Notes
This recipe is just my hot chocolate recipe! You can, of course, add a shot of fireball to your favorite one.

My girlfriends and I just found a wonderful drink combo; vanilla latter and Rum Chatta! It HIT THE SPOT when we were out doing some “shopping” on Black Friday. I also recommend trying it in hot chocolate…YUM! And.. fireball or my preferred Jack Fire in apple cider. I promise Im not just sitting around drinking this holiday season, but I could! *Eat, Drink and Be Merry*

Another great adult version is Hot Coco with Rumple Minze (a peppermint liqueur with high alcohol content)! It’s basically like drinking an adult peppermint mocha 😉
