It’s not everyday that we’re craving something that will instantly warm us up, but lately, that’s all we can think of. For that reason, we thought that we’d head right over to McCormick.com (yes, the spice company). They’ve taken the red velvet flavor beyond your typical cake and made a fantastic, body warming Red Velvet Hot Chocolate (see recipe).
Follow us all month long, as we explore local establishments during our celebration of chocolate series. We’ll introduce you to some decadent chocolate dishes at local restaurants — and we’ve even snagged a few recipes to keep you busy in the kitchen.
McCormick Spice offers high quality ingredients from far-reaching destinations to bring a world of flavor to your table.
