Witches Brew Hot Chocolate Ingredients
- Whole milk – Using a milk with a higher fat percentage will give the richest taste.
- 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 – use pure if you have it but artificial works just as well!
- Purple food coloring – If you don’t already have purple, you can mix blue and red food coloring together to get the purple hot chocolate.
- Whipped cream – Buy 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.
Make Homemade Hot Chocolate!
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, chocolate chips, and vanilla. Heat it over low heat and stir until all the chocolate is melted and warmed.
Remove from stovetop and add in enough food coloring till you get a vibrant purple.
Decorate & Enjoy!
Pour the chocolate mixture into four mugs. Top the drinks with whipped cream, gummy worms, candy eyes, and sprinkles.
Use your imagination for the toppings. The sky is the limit for this yummy Halloween hot chocolate!!
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.
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.
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.
Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days for optimal freshness.
Yes, you can! You can make this super easy whipped cream at home using heavy cream. Use a piping bag to add it to the top of the hot chocolate.

This is cute, but I’m lactose intolerant. Could I use soy milk or something else?
I think anything you normally substitute would work.
