Chocolate Eggnog
Are you looking for a flavorful twist on a holiday classic? This Chocolate Eggnog is homemade eggnog with rich melted chocolate and an optional splash of spiced rum (but it is just as delicious without the rum). Then, I like to top my creamy, chocolatey drink with a dollop of whipped cream and some chocolate shavings, which makes it look as good as it tastes!
