Vermont Hot Chocolate is sweetened with (what else) maple syrup, and Nutella.

This delicious hot chocolate was inspired by the iconic holiday movie White Christmas, and is completely delicious!!

If you know the movie, then hopefully you’ll see where I got the inspiration for the photos. 🙂

An excerpt from 2014:

When I learned that the theme for this week’s #SundaySupper was a favorite holiday movie, song, or TV-inspired recipe I knew in a moment I HAD to participate.

My White Christmas inspired Vermont White Chocolate is from the iconic train scene where Bing, Danny, Vera, and Rosemary are on their way to Pine Tree Inn, in Vermont.

The inspiration for Vermont Hot Chocolate:

What’s that? You say you don’t remember the song? Here, let me give you a little reminder so you’ll see where I got the inspiration for the backdrop for my photos.  🙂

I think I can watch this scene 1,000 times over and never get tired of it. Wait…I think I have already watched it (and the movie), at least 1,000 times over the course of my life, and somehow it never loses its hold on me!

For me, Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without it!

What makes this hot chocolate “Vermont” hot chocolate?

Why the addition of maple syrup, of course!

Can I make Vermont Hot Chocolate without the maple syrup and maple extract?

Sure, but why would you? LOL
