Ingredients Needed

Whole milk – This gives it a rich taste and we recommend using a milk with a higher fat percentage.
White chocolate chips – We used Ghirardelli chocolate chips. If you can’t find those, you can always get a better quality white chocolate bar and chop it up until you have one cup of chocolate chunks.
Vanilla extract
Purple food coloring – If you don’t have this you can mix blue and red food coloring together to get a purple hot chocolate or grab the food coloring at any craft store or on Amazon.
Whipped cream – Grab a can to make it easy or make your own homemade whipped topping and put it in a pastry bag to pipe on the top.
Toppings – We used Gummy worms, candy eyes and Halloween sprinkles.

Decorate & Enjoy!

Pour the chocolate mixture into four cups. Top them with the whipped cream, gummy worms, candy eyes, and sprinkles.

Use your imagination for the toppings. The sky is the limit!!

Where do you get the purple food coloring?

You can find it at any craft store or on Amazon. If you have blue and red food coloring you can mix those together to get a purple color.

What kind of white chocolate do you use?

I like to use the Ghirardelli chocolate chips. If you can’t find those, you can always get a better quality white chocolate bar and chop it up until you have one cup of chocolate chunks.

Can I make this ahead of time?

While you can make it ahead of time and just reheat it in the microwave, it’s so simple to make that I recommend for the best quality just making it and serving it right away.

How do I store leftovers, and how long will they last?

Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge raider for up to three days for optimal freshness.
