Hiland Dairy is based out of my home town! I’ve adored this company for a long time. They make delicious, high quality dairy products. So needless to say...I jumped at the chance to team up with them (again!) and create a fabulous recipe and fun holiday craft to share with you.

My kiddos truly enjoy hot chocolate during the holidays. I don’t mind making this for them because they are getting added nutrients and protein...while getting to enjoy a yummy treat.

If you can believe it...I actually have a few family members who don’t like traditional hot chocolate...crazy...I know.

So I set out to create a white hot chocolate recipe that I knew they couldn’t turn down.

You’ll need:

4 cups of Hiland Dairy milk (your choice of percentage...organic...non organic)

1 cup of premium white chocolate chips (don’t skimp out on quality)

1 teaspoon of pure vanilla

1/2 cup of Half and Half (optional)

Whipped topping

First...place the milk and white chocolate chips in sauce pan. Cook over medium heat. SIMMER. DO NOT BOIL. Once all the chocolate chips have melted...add vanilla...and Half and Half. Heat for another minute or so and then remove from heat.
