Notes

Note about the white chocolate choice: This is an integral flavor in your white chocolate hot chocolate, so don't buy the cheapest white chocolate you can find. You could even skip out on using white chocolate chips and use something like chopped up White Chocolate Lindor Truffles. Holy yum!
