Ingredients Needed:

Seriously….you only need 5 ingredients! Once you taste the boozy hot chocolate you will be shocked that you don’t need a long list of ingredients. It’s that good and EASY!

Castle Kitchen Caramel Dark Chocolate Mix – This is the STAR of these snowfall sippers! Why? Because this is the best hot chocolate mix ever and it’s vegan.
Baileys Almande – This is such a fabulous addition to the cocktail. It’s made with almond milk and has an incredibly nutty flavor. It’s light and refreshing too.
Amaretto – The yummy hazelnut flavor with the other ingredients is downright heavenly.
Mini Marshmallows – Regular marshmallows are not vegan at all. These, however, are and they are DELICIOUS! I won’t even tell anyone if you sneak a handful to munch on.

How To Make This Snowfall Sipper Vegan Boozy Hot Chocolate Recipe

Just like my other alcoholic hot chocolates, this one is simple to make as well. A few steps and it’s time to start partying. Let’s get started!

Make the hot chocolate according to the directions on the package. Pour it into 2 mugs.
Pour in 2 ounces of the Bailey’s and 1 ounce of the amaretto into each mug. Stir gently.
Add more hot chocolate mix if desired.
Top with mini marshmallows and chocolate sauce.
Sip and enjoy!

Pro Tip: Be sure to leave room at the top of the mug when you add the hot chocolate. You will need the space to add the alcohol and marshmallows.

Boozy Hot Chocolate Variations

This is a versatile recipe and you can make all sorts of adaptations. Here are some ideas that you may like to try soon.

Not vegan, add dairy! If you aren’t vegan, that’s no problem! Go with regular marshmallows instead. Or make the hot chocolate mix with milk. You can also use regular Bailey’s too.
Don’t forget the caramel. I’m always a fan of anything that combines chocolate and caramel together. This hot chocolate is no different. Use your favorite sauce and drizzle it before serving.
Peppermints can be cool. Yep, adding some peppermint sticks is a great way to add some color and flavor.
Add a dash of cocoa powder. I love the look of marshmallows and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. It’s pretty and tastes good too.
Go ahead and add more alcohol. Want to make it extra boozy? Go wild and add some more shots of alcohol. Don’t forget to drink responsibly though.

Is It Okay To Toast The Marshmallows?

Absolutely! Toasting the marshmallows is a fantastic way to add more charm to the boozy hot chocolate. Toast them with a kitchen torch or put them on a lined baking sheet and broil for a few minutes until they are the toastiness you want.

What Are Some Other Garnish Ideas?

There are truly no wrong answers when it comes to garnishing the hot chocolate. Shaved chocolate, mini chocolate chips, candies, crushed peppermint, and crushed cookies are just a few ideas. If you have something that you want to include, go for it! A swirl of whipped cream is also a tasty idea too. Another thing I will do is add some cinnamon on occasion. Cinnamon and chocolate are a great combination, especially when the weather is cold.
