Snickerdoodle Hot Chocolate is a delicious, rich twist on a classic. Flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla… this decadent dessert drink tastes just like a snickerdoodle cookie! The perfect treat for all ages!
I’m sure at one point in my childhood I liked playing outside in the snow. One would think so…..right?? But honestly, for the life of me, all I can remember about it is being stuffed in a snowsuit in the freezing cold with plastic bags in my boots, snow in my gloves, a hat that would never stay on, and the constant threat of a cold, snowy face wash.
I know that sounds like it must be my adult self talking….right? My childhood self probably loved playing outside in winter! If I was anything like my kids, I was probably constantly begging my mom to bundle me up so I could play in the snow….and I was probably also willing to push through the cold and snow and windburn and….ahem…..utter misery that it entails!
Clearly I am not the best outdoor playmate. Nonetheless, my kids adore being outside in winter….maybe even more than they do in summer! And ever since we had our first major snowfall, they’ve been taking every opportunity to get out there and have a good time (if that’s what you want to call it – haha)!
Of course, even I know that following every good romp in the snow, there MUST be the promise of hot cocoa. (I may not love the outdoor play time…..but I’m always willing to reconsider if it leads me to a delicious treat!) I’m especially willing to reconsider if the treat is (a)homemade and (b)a little something different….. and this Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa is both!
It starts with white chocolate and takes on the delicious flavors of snickerdoodles, which, if you ask me, is worth it every time. Even if it involves playing in the snow.
Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa is a delicious, rich twist on a classic. Flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla... this decadent dessert drink tastes just like a snickerdoodle cookie! The perfect treat for all ages!

First, I have to find some cups like that! 🙂 What a great cause! Second, I remember going to visit my grandparents in the Midwest during the holidays and we always hoped for snow during our visit. It’s funny how your perception changes when you’re an adult and you have to drive in it, shovel it or realize how cold and miserable it really is! 😀 Regardless, I’d take some of this Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa – it sounds amazing!! Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, sweet friend!

I love the way you write my friend – such a great storyteller! I’m with you though – not the best outdoor playmate – I prefer to see it…from INside…and of course, sipping some delicious Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa would make it even more merry! Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂

I am so jealous of the cold weather you have at the moment.. here in Australia it’s summer and TOO hot! I definitely want to try this snicker doodle hot chocolate though, I just will have to turn the air conditioning up to freezing so I can enjoy it!

My boyfriend and I recently had the Snickerdoodle hot chocolate and fell in love. Wish I would’ve thought to look this up sooner! I think I’m going to run to the store just to get these ingredients. Thanks for sharing!

Yay! Hope you enjoy!

I don’t have the cinnamon sticks, what can I do instead?
Cathy Trochelman says
If you do not have cinnamon sticks, leave them out. You could add 1/8tsp more cinnamon if you’d like.

Is there a way to make this one in the crockpot? I’m going to give it a try tonight for NYE.
