During the Christmas season, Eggnog usually reigns king among the yuletide beverages.  But oftentimes, I want something festive and warm. 


Cue Butterscotch Hot Chocolate!  It’s simple to whip up and delicious to enjoy.

    1. Buttershots are also sold as Butterscotch Schnapps. It should be available at any liquor store (or grocery store if you live in an area where grocery store sell liquor!)

  5. Sounds yummy! I love hot chocolate! Do you think Torani syrup would work instead of the butter shots?

    1. Absolutely! I start with less than I have noted in the recipe, since syrups can be much more concentrated, and add more to taste!
