With Valentine's day steadily creeping up on us I thought it would be fun to make a little festive hot chocolate treat. Behold darlings: pink hot chocolate and red velvet hot chocolate! Share one of these with your bestie or your Mr. Tis' the season for chocolate, and pink, and appreciating the loved one's in your life.
Red Velvet Hot Chocolate, makes 2 servings.
Needed: 4-5 cups milk, 1 cup dark chocolate chips, 2-3 drops red food coloring.
Pink Hot Chocolate, makes 2 servings.
Needed: 4-5 cups milk, 1 cup white chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons strawberry syrup.
For each of these beverages the method is the same: in a small pot heat the milk over medium heat. Add the chocolate chips and continue to stir constantly as they melt and incorporate into the milk. Add the syrup or dye. Serve with whip cream and cozy up with someone. 🙂 Enjoy! xo. emma and elsie

Oh my goodness, pink hot chocolate?!?! With white chocolate AND strawberry goodness?! I might need to skip dinner and run straight to the grocery store…! Thank you for posting these delish recipes! 🙂
Oooo…Can’t wait to try these! Placing them in clear mugs is a must 🙂
There is nothing better than red velvet cake and a cold glass of milk but I will definitely have to try this and see if it comes close 🙂
I just love having sweet treats during such a sweet month that February is!

Hi Melissa, the mugs are from Bed,Bath & Beyond (wedding registry!) XOXO!
Thanks for all the kind words!
OH MAN. I think the red velvet recipe could easily be veganized – I might have to give it a go!
Yeah..this page is definitely bookmarked.
Have you all ever googled what’s in food coloring? You might want to.
Those both look amazing!! I can’t wait to try them both out on Valentine’s Day.
This sounds incredible. Yum yum!

I don’t know if I’d be able to drink the light pink one, it’s just too weird that it would be in any way chocolatey lol.. the red velvet one though, I like
(I’ll probably end up trying the pink one too actually, just re-read and it DOES sound delicious..
Thanks so much for this lovely idea! Look so much forward to try this out. Yuuum!
Oooh something of a brilliant idea! I don’t even think the Hummingbird does that? 🙂
Looks beautiful!
yummm!!! this looks disturbing in an AWESOME way!!!! 🙂 it needs to be made this weekend!! in Norway we are having -15 today so its def the season!!
love K
Think my kiddos & I will do a hot chocolate tasting this weekend!
http://aclosetintellectual.blogspot.com/
These do look cute, especially the pink one. I can see coloring it just with strawberries for more natural taste.
This looks amazing, defintely going to be doing this Valentine’s Day!
i love it! 🙂
Oh yes! That’s what winter is all about!
Emma xx
this is PERFECT! our tradition for Valentine’s day is to get each other a mug! It eliminates the stress of having to spend a ton of money on something fancy, and it perpetuates our warm beverage addiction! I think this pink and red hot chocolate is a must this year!
Very cute! So simple but great impact!
Cute!
Such a neat idea, love it!
oh so perfect for a valentine’s day coffee date. 🙂
xoxo

These look amazing! I am so excited to try this with my fiancé. Anything with red velvet in the title, he’ll go for 🙂 Thanks for posting!
This is so cute and sounds amazing! I actually have mugs just like this that I got for my wedding registry from BBB. Can’t wait to try it!
Oh my, goodness me!
I will be sharing these if you please!!
OK enough with the Dr. Seuss, really I am going to add them to my Valentine’s Day Countdown (and make them for me and my sweetie this weekend!!)
Look for the link-back!
Thanks for always brightening my days!
Sounds perfect for a Sunday night!
This is so fun and cool! Nothing like pink chocolat milk to get you in the mood.
yummy, thanks for the idea
Love the Vday pink and red colors! Would not have thought of it for hot chocolate but looks tasty 🙂
How totally cute!! And yummy. Two of my favorite things, chocolate, and the color red.
Looks really yummy, not a big fan of Strawberry syrup but the Red Velvet sounds great!

OMG. This looks absolutely divine!! I might have to incorporate this into my Valentine’s Day girls only party menu… we WERE going to sit around and drink vodka, but this looks like much for fun (and probably better for us… emotionally) 🙂
What a great idea for Valentines day drinks! They look so delicious and easy to make.
xo,

I like your mugshot!
OMG looks delicious!

you are full of the best ideas.
i adore this idea!!!so cuuuute!!!
Wow, red velvet hot chocolate sounds amazing but unfortunately I am on a cold soft food diet for at least a week. Frowny face.
I definitely just wrote these ingredients down. I’m definitely going to try the red velvet with my honey and the pink with my bestie. Thanks girls!
Ohmygosh these looks so yummy! And cute! (which is always a bonus– and yes, I second that question^… Where are those mugs from! Gorgeous. I would love to see my tea and various hot beverages… 🙂

Yum!
WOW that’s so cool!!! love is in the aaaiiirrr!!
(New blog needing some love and support: http://inwhirlofinspiration.blogspot.com)
Yum! What a brilliant idea. Love it
i really love hot chocolate and pink is my favorite color – so for me it’s really the perfect prefect drink.
Oh wow! Pretty and delicious – I must give them a go.
I am surprised only a few drops of food coloring produce such a deep red color. How about orange for Halloween?
i need to do this.
I love the look of the red velvet hot chocolate, a definite for valentines day breakfast in bed. The strawberry sounds a little sweet for my personal taste though. xx

Mmmmm I need to go find clear mugs to make these for my man 🙂
The red velvet is especially beautiful! Just may have to try that one!
I am thinking that doing the red velvet using coconut milk and vegan dark chocolate would be very yummy! Great thought and nice and easy technique for all holidays-just a few adjustments for the different holidays. Easy enough for the perfect way to enjoy hot chocolate-camping!
Wow those look really good! Pink Hot Chocolate, very creative! Lovin it!
This looks so delicious! Can’t wait to make a cup…or two!
WOW! Looks delicious! thank you for sharing!
Super adorable! I just had to try the red velvet hot chocolate and it’s delicious. My hubby totally loved it too.
Any tips for getting it that beautiful red color? I put in about 15 drops of red dye but mine only turned a nice dark brown 🙁

The red one would be great with a bit of chilli to spice it up.

Yum! Perfect for Valentine’s Day. My kids will love this!
YUM! So delicious, can’t wait to try this! They look so sweet and pretty, I featured this tutorial on my blog, you can have a peek here if you wish:

Well, while I’m sure the actual mugs in the picture are from a more glamourous place. I found very similar ones in the Dollorama 😉 So making red velvet hot cocoa tonight!
I can’t wait to try that one! My girl and I are celebrating Valentine’s in my house and I thought of making something like this to make our sweet tooth happy. =) Hope she’ll love this.
Yum! I’m drinking the Red Velvet Hot Chocolate now, and it’s delicious! I had to add a lot more food coloring, but that could be because my food coloring is super old and might be a bit weak or something. Tastes good anyway 🙂
SOOOOOOOOOO delicious and beautiful! I simply HAD to feature them in my “Five Fabulous Fings on Friday” Valentine’s edition post! You can have a peek here if you wish:
http://www.jesuisunemonstre.blogspot.com/2012/02/five-fabulous-fings-on-friday-be-my.html
Can’t wait to sip pink hot chocolate – good for any day that you need to make someone smile! 🙂
Keep up the great work, I love reading this beautiful blog.

So this means you can use any colour food dye to create a rainbow of hot chocolate! I must say, those mugs are just awesome. Where can they be purchased? Since they look like perfect hot chocolate drinking mugs. 🙂
Cute ideas! I love the twist on one of my favorite drinks!
I have never tried Hot Chocolate that’s Velvet Red or Pink. This seems interesting. I collect chocolate recipes to try and this is one unique hot chocolate.
Great recipe! I have a few chocolate recipes of my own to share with the world.

By the looks of it, I think your chocolate recipe is amazing! I wish I could try that sometime.

Dude, no1 gives a shit about your kid and the moronic crap that spews from his mouth. Remember Bill Cosby? Ya, his show about dumb kid sagyins was a hit in the ’80 s. It doesn’t surprise me tho Darren, this is coming from the guy who thinks a video rental store would be a good way to make a living. Dummy. I’d rather read The Stupid Shit Darren Does Every Day’. Now that would be funny. You could start with the one about yours truly fully ripping you off and you whining about it on your never-really-read-by-anybody-cuz-nobody-fucking-cares blog. Bye Gus!
