Who doesn’t love a mug full of creamy decadent Hot Chocolate? But, of course, I wanted to go above and beyond this Valentine’s Day so I made a Hot Pink Hot Chocolate and then deck it out with a homemade shortbread cookie, heart shaped marshmallows, and sprinkles! Check out this easy recipe below and have a delicious and decadent Valentine’s Day!

Add milk to a saucepan over medium heat and whisk in 1/2 cup white chocolate chips.
Once melted completely, remove from heat and mix in vanilla.
Now add your color! I used Rose Icing Color found in the baking aisle at Michaels Craft Store.
You can also use red or pink food coloring, I have seen neon food coloring at Walmart.
So pretty and festive! Perfect for Valentine’s Day (even if it kinda looks like Pepto Bismol!)
Icing color is thicker than food coloring so it just takes a smidge to color the whole saucepan of chocolate. I use icing color to tint my whipped cream also!
New baking goodies from World Market!
I baked shortbread cookies using my new side of the cup cookie cutter.
Toppings galore make this truly “decked out”!
I used heart shaped marshmallows, Valentine’s sprinkles and a fun ‘side of the cup’ shortbread cookie .
The white chocolate is a milder sweet flavor in my opinion compared to traditional rich dark chocolate but still absolutely delicious and the perfect Valentine’s Day treat!
These look delicious–I might have to try them for supper!
