PISTACHIO HOT CHOCOLATE
makes 1 8oz hot chocolate | easy
there’s hot chocolate… and then there’s pistachio hot chocolate. this isn’t your standard cozy cup—it’s richer, creamier, and just a little bit unexpected in the best possible way. think of that deep, velvety cocoa flavor you crave, now layered with the buttery warmth of real pistachio from our OG Creamy Pistachio Spread. it’s luxe without being over-the-top, and honestly, it kind of ruins regular hot chocolate for you—in a good way.
this is the kind of drink you make when you're craving something a little more elevated but still want that cozy, comfort-in-a-mug vibe. the pistachio brings a subtle nuttiness that rounds everything out and makes each sip feel extra special. you can go all in with toppings—whipped cream, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, maybe even a drizzle of honey—or keep it simple and let the flavor speak for itself. either way, it’s the kind of thing you’ll end up craving long after the mug is empty.
