How to Make the Very Best Unicorn Hot Chocolate

One of our favorite things to do during the cooler months is cozy up with hot chocolate. However, what we’ve come to fall in love with this winter is not just any average old hot chocolate. In fact, if you’ll recall, our sweet Bella shared three unique hot chocolate recipes here.

Today, we are kicking our hot chocolate game up another notch with unicorn hot chocolate! Yes, it’s a real thing. And yes it’s awesome. It’s not only absolutely delicious, but it’s one of the most beautiful things we’ve ever laid our eyes on. It’s almost too pretty to drink (almost being the key word).

If you haven’t heard of unicorn hot chocolate, then you are really in for a treat. Now, if you live in Houston, we highly recommend going right over to Petite Sweets to get theirs. But if you don’t live in the area, though, or if you’d rather try making it in the comfort of your own home, we have something special for you today.

Petite Sweets has given us exclusively their secret recipe! They said we could share it with all of you, and we are so excited to do so. You won’t be able to find this recipe anywhere else, so be sure to bookmark it, pin it, and save it for anytime you get a hot chocolate craving (or if you just want to look at something colorful and pretty). Plus, it also makes for a perfect Valentine’s Day treat.

So, without further ado…
