Grinch Hot Chocolate REcipe

Grinch Hot Chocolate is cute, delicious, and it only takes 10 minutes to make. It is based on one of my favorite Christmas movies: The Grinch! Hot chocolate is a festive drink for the winter but this one is perfect for Christmas because of its green color. Stovetop Grinch Hot Cocoa will be a favorite, I promise: It’s a white hot chocolate with marshmallows or whipped cream – everyone loves this!

Ingredients on a white surface: a bowl of red sugar, a bowl of white chocolate chips, a glass cup of milk, a small bottle of green food coloring, and a small container of vanilla extract.

Ingredients Needed

  • White Chocolate Chips: You can also use white baking chocolate.
  • Milk: You can use any kind of milk – dairy or non-dairy (I love whole milk with hot chocolate).
  • Grinch Toppings: Green food coloring (regular or gel food coloring) and you can rim the glass with red sanding sugar or top whipped cream with a red heart sprinkle!

How To Make Grinch Chocolate Milk

  • Place white chocolate chips, milk, and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until white chocolate is melted and milk is heated.
  • Remove from heat and stir several drops of green food coloring.
  • Pour hot chocolate into a mug and top with mini marshmallows and/or whipped cream!
