This quick and easy Nutella Hot Chocolate is the perfect cold weather drink for the entire family. Made with chocolate and hazelnut spread, it will be your family’s new favorite.
Nutella Hot Chocolate is a treat I am enjoying right now. This weekend I am finishing up some gift shopping for a few friends and for my stocking stuffers. I am looking for some small gifts for my coworkers. Last year I made these and this year I am looking for some new, inexpensive, but thoughtful ideas. I have about a dozen people who I would like to give a little something special.
I am thinking $2 or $3 a person because isn’t is amazing how quickly gifts add up?
Sometimes I think the world would be better if we just stopped to have some tasty hot chocolate. This one is made extra special by adding some Nutella spread. Have you ever added Nutella to hot cocoa? If you haven’t and you love Nutella, you must try this.
This hot cocoa with Nutella recipe is super simple to make, and it makes a really special warm drink for winter. Have some with me and please share your simple and inexpensive gift ideas.
I suggest making this on the stovetop as it just takes a few minutes and you want the chocolate to really warm up.
It is such an easy recipe and you likely already have the ingredients on hand. For another great hot drink recipe, be sure to check out my Hot Vanilla Milk recipe.
Top with whipped cream….and sprinkles….so tasty!
It is so good and tasty! I do not like adding additional sugar but you can if you want it a little sweeter. You can serve it in a clear mug for a delicious looking hot chocolate!

I had planned on finishing shopping today but we got a snowstorm late last night. Eight inches of fresh snow today. We just got plowed out so maybe I’ll run to the store for more stocking stuffers..and for some Nutella!
