Pink Hot Chocolate

A yummy and easy Pink Hot Chocolate that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, and any other time you need something pink to drink!

Pink Hot Chocolate

Pink Hot Chocolate

Yesterday we made this yummy drink as part of our Valentine countdown. It’s SO yummy, and my kids were pretty thrilled by the fact that it was pink. Even the boys! It’s a fun way to get warm and celebrate the holiday!

My kids think I’m magic.  :) They have no idea how the hot chocolate gets pink, and I’ve told them it’s a very special mom secret (passed down to me by my mom), and that I’ll tell them all about it when they grow up. They like to watch whenever I’m working the kitchen, but I made them leave when it was time for the “pink” part.  I LOVE it.

I make it a couple of times every year during the Valentine’s Day season, and it’s always a hit.  I love to serve it as part of our Valentine’s Day breakfast, and it’s fun and festive for any kind of Valentine party or gathering. It’s extra cold in lots of places this winter, so pink hot chocolate might be the perfect thing to warm up!

It’s a simple recipe, and can be made in less than 10 minutes. I give my kids the choice of whipped cream or marshmallows, and then a few sprinkles for the top. They love creating their own special drink, and it makes it even more fun!

    Love the pink hot chocolate and love the idea of a countdown to V-day.
    BTW, I was wondering if you were ever able to find out the paint color on your walls.
    Thanks!

    Thank you so much for this recipe and sharing the special way you present it to your children. I’m going to do this for my grandchildren this year. I’ve been unsuccessfully searching for this “special touch”.

      It’s the 12 oz. can. Thanks for asking!! I’ll go and change it in the recipe. :)

    Why the whole milk? Does 2% not work correctly with this recipe? Thanks! It sounds yummy!

      Whole milk just gives it a richer taste. :) You can use 2% milk if you want to reduce the fat–it’s totally fine! xoxo

    I am going to credit you for the image and add it to my blogger and pin it as well. I have a couple twists for it as well for other holidays as well. Thank you for this idea. I like it. I think it could be done with white chocolate as well.

    Would using colored candy melts work the same, I wonder? That’s what I have, May need to experiment today ;)

      You can definitely experiment with it, but they’re made a little differently than chocolate chips, so I’m not sure how it will work. If you try it, let me know!!! xoxo

      For that many, you may want to triple it. We have a family of 8, and one batch is just enough for us! Lol.

    Thinking about making this for my daughter’s school Valentine party. Could I add the food coloring and keep it hot in my crockpot, or will keeping it on the heat do something to the food coloring? Thanks

      I’m honestly not sure, Amber, I’m sorry! I personally would be okay keeping it warm for my kids, but you may want to do a little searching online to see if you can find out anything before you decide. And if do, please let me know!!
