Frozen Baileys Hot Chocolate

Frozen Hot Chocolate

Nestled in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket, Mary’s Milk Bar is a quaint café known for their frozen hot chocolate. When Ian and I were visiting his family in Scotland this summer, I popped in the café to see if this drink held up to all the hype – and if this post is any indication – it did!

Frozen Hot Chocolate

Frozen hot chocolate is an interesting concept, since it combines opposites. Cold ice cream with piping hot chocolate. Crazy? Maybe, but it is delicious! You just have to make sure to enjoy it soon after the ice cream is added, otherwise you are left with a lukewarm drink.

To be honest, I had never had biscotti before I made these peppermint creations. I guess that throws my credibility out the window when I say these are delicious, but while I may not be a biscotti expert I know delicious dessert when I taste one!

If you still have faith in this recipe, then I suggest you dig out your apron and make these stats! These peppermint chocolate biscotti are a lovely addition to a cup of hot chocolate. Who doesn’t want to warm up after a chilly winter day with that combination?! Yum!

Whether you have a friend’s birthday party coming up or are hosting a Bachelor viewing party, you need to pin this Chocolate Covered Bourbon Oreo recipe! I can guarantee you will score bonus points with your friends, since these Oreos taste like they were picked up in a gourmet chocolate shop rather than being whipped up in your kitchen.

My brother is always difficult to shop for, so this year I made him a box of these bourbon infused Oreos for Christmas and it was a big hit! You can get creative and swap out bourbon for your favorite adult beverage. I have a sneaking suspicious that creme de mint or baileys would be fun variations!
