Nothing beats a steaming cup of hot chocolate during the winter time! There are so many ways to dress up a cup of cocoa, but today we are bringing you a spicy one! We are excited to partner with Silver Cup Artist Ashley of Henry Photography to share this fiery hot chocolate recipe! You don't have to be a spice fanatic to enjoy this cup! The cinnamon, chili powder and cayenne add a delicious warmth that cuts a bit of that sweetness, and for those too nervous you can always start with less spice! Read on for the full recipe by Henry Photography!
