hot chocolate floats

by @according2kelly on November 9, 2011

hot-chocolate-floatsrich & decadent double fudge hot chocolate, served with just a touch (okay, maybe a double scoop) of ice cream. hot chocolate floats- the ultimate late night anytime snack on a cold winter day.

hot chocolate floats

1 mug of hot chocolate

1/4 cup of international delight creamer of your choice

1 scoop (or 2) of ice cream of your choice

combine hot cocoa, international delight creamer in a mug and stir to blend. top with a scoop (or 2) of ice cream, & serve immediately. my “standard” hot chocolate float is made with french vanilla international delights creamer, and french vanilla ice cream or mint chocolate chip ice cream.

but sometimes, i like to mix it up & live on the wild side…. pumpkin pie spice international delights creamer & pumpkin ice cream, peppermint mocha international delights creamer & peppermint ice cream. the possibilities are truly endless.

the only thing that could make hot chocolate floats even better? a couple of candy cane joe joe’son the side. better wipe my mouth, i’m drooling.

Even though I was sweating earlier today while driving around in my car here in Florida, I’m really craving a hot chocolate float right now…

This is down right D.I.R.T.Y.! Oh my gosh, two of the best things in life together in a combination I would never imagined! Guess who’s gonna gain 20 pounds this holiday season guzzling these bad boys? Ugh!

Stopping by from SITS, wishing you a happy SITS day! Enjoy! :-)

Happy SITS day! oh how delicious this sounds. But I must confess that a couple of shots of kahlua would hit the spot in this brilliant concoction as well! Cheers and happy Friday!

You know what I think would make it even better? If it used the DARK hot chocolate from Coldstone!!! I haven’t even had it yet, but it is most definitely on my soon-to-do list. :)

Since you like ice cream… you might enjoy our
Lemon-Lime Ice Cream Soda Shots, especially when the weather gets warm again!

Happy SITS day to you!
