ReplyDeleteThe scarf you made is really beautiful, I would love to win it.
Love from France.

My favourite add-in for hot chocolate is vanilla sugar, I find it compensates/compliments the dark chocolate I like to mix in with my Nesquik powder.

ReplyDeleteOh this is a fantastic scarf! Please enter me! My favorite add-in with hot cocoa is homemade marshmallows, that I add crushed candy canes to. So yummy! :)
ReplyDeletelove that fabric! My fave mix in is homemade marshmellows... okay I'm hoping my fave mix in will be homemade marshmellows, I begged my Mom to make some with her fancy shmancy mixer, we'll see if she complies :)
ReplyDeleteHomemade cocoa can not be beat. Plain and simple but oh so good!
ReplyDeleteI love that scarf!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite hot chocolate is made from a homemade mix using Alton Brown's recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/hot-cocoa-recipe/index.html
It is the hot chocolate to end all hot chocolate.
What a lovely scarf!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite hot chocolate mix in is an Andes mint. It adds a light minty flavor to the hot chocolate. So good!

Honestly a good hot chocolate doesn't need anything. Since I can't afford to always drink good hot cocoa I have to say a candy bar. I like to mix in a fun sized snickers or milkyway, but heath bars are awesome too
ReplyDeleteMarshmallows for me, please!
ReplyDeleteOH, I HOPE I WIN THIS ONE I LOVE THE COLOR

Ever since I had Starbucks hot chocolate with caramel and salt crystals...ummm they are goood. Caramel is my favourite. Would love to win your scarf! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeletejodym7@yahoo.com
What a cute scarf! I think I have a neice who loves pink!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf. Marshmallows are definitely my favorite.
ReplyDeletepeppermint schnapps - just a touch :) Love your scarf
ReplyDeleteThats an awesome scarf! I like to stir it with a candy cane, the candy cane melts and it gets a good stir at the same time.
ReplyDeletehttp://clarityperhaps.com
It has to be mini marshmallows.
ReplyDeleteMarshmallows, but I like to eat them before they melt completely! Great scarf!
ReplyDeleteI normally am not a big fan of add-ins, preferring my chocolate pure. But the best way to go if you're gonna is to make homemade marshmallows and cut them out with your mugs so that you have a mug-sized marshmallow, like the cheese over French onion soup!
ReplyDeleteI just like the simplicity of marshmallows. And I don't have a public blog at the moment...I started one...and then quit...I hope to get back to it at some point.
ReplyDeleteI love the regular old milk chocolate coco with lots of whip cream on top :)
ReplyDeleteMarshmallows! Lots of them. I hope to try homemade marshmallows this year.
ReplyDeleteA dash of cinnamon, marshmallows & squirty cream! Toasty goodness.
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf!
I love marshmallows, especially when they are starting to melt but not quite melted all the way. Mmm!

ReplyDeleteLOVE the scarf, there is something about rick rack, hated it as a kid and seem to now be obsessed with it!
a candy cane! can't beat it in a hot hot chocolate!
ReplyDeletetough to choose--
ReplyDeletedaily, i'd go for marshmallows (and don't forget the vanilla extract!)
for the holiday, definitely a peppermint stick AND whipped cream!
i have given this way too much thought, you see.
I have to have marshmallows in my hot chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI love to add marshmallows to my hot chocolate. It's raining here in Missouri with snow expected later, so that sounds really good right now.
ReplyDeleteI love your scarf. Beautiful fabric. Thanks for the chance to win.

Beautiful scarf! I like to add some creme de menthe for a grownup hot chocolate. :0)
ReplyDeleteHands down, Marshmallows, even better if they are homemade
ReplyDeleteLove real Mexican hot chocolate but if I can't find it here, I usually pick something minty with marshmallows on top.
ReplyDeleteWhite wool is always so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHot chocolate made with hershey's powdered chocolate, a few drops of vanilla and real whipped cream or a spoonful of vanilla bean ice cream.

Wow ... GREAT prize! I can think of several people who would love to receive this for Christmas. Have you tried the new Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate from Starbuck's? Odd combination, but it TOTALLY works. It's kind of like eating a chocolate covered pretzel. YUM!

What a gorgeous scarf! I stick the the classics and put marshmallows in my hot chocolate...reminds m of childhood :)

My favourite thing to add to hot chocolate is ground chipotle peppers. I love my drinks spicy!
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf and mint hot cocoa.
ReplyDeleteI want to make a scarf like that one!! Maybe with different prints, but the scheme is the same! :-D
ReplyDeleteCount me in for your great giveaway! Contact:librosfera(at)gmail(dot)com
I love peppermint cocoa but I don't have a blog. I am too busy with working full time and parenting a very involved 4H daughter in Northern California.
ReplyDeleteOh, gorgeous scarf! I drink Ovaltine (sort of malty chocolate) rather than hot chocolate... But I guess I'd say whipped cream on top! Mmmm
ReplyDeleteohoh, the white hot chocolate is my all time fav!! it's so crazy sweet tho. O_O
ReplyDeleteOh that scarf is divine.
ReplyDeleteBec
ooooh that's lovely. I have only knitted scarves... that'd be a nice change!
ReplyDeleteI take my mother's homemade marshmallows over anything else -- they're so melty and fabulous.
Definitely marshmallows!!
ReplyDeleteI love adding a bit of milk into my hot chocolate. Sadly I have to give up dairy for awhile since my nursling is reacting to it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite mix-in is marshmallows and toffee -- Yum-O!! Your scarf looks soooo soft!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to coco I start with dutch coco add sugar (evaporated cane juice) and a tiny bit of salt. It's almost as dark as coffee but better in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteMmmm. I loooove to make hot chocolate using cadbury's coco mix in warmed up milk on the stove! And nothing is better than those bunny shaped marshmallows!!!! And sometimes I like it with cream ontop they way that starbucks does hot chocolate.
ReplyDeleteThank you for including me into your give away.

ReplyDeleteOh I love Amy Butler. That scarf looks cozy!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love marshmallows in mine - many many marshmallows - and when I drink them all I like to add more. *L* Perhaps I just like marshmallow? ;)
I have no blog but my favourite addition to hot chocolate is espresso and maybe some whipped cream....yummmmmm

I like my hot chocolate mixed with coffee (if it's late, then I use decaf).
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf - lovely.
I love your cozy Amy Butler scarf, it would warm my rainy Portland days for sure! I like to have raspberry cocoa with my daughter, it's just a mix, but it's a sweet treat on a cold day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

Mmmmm, this scarf looks lovely and warm. My favorite cocoa mix in is hazelnut flavoring. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteI love to have hot chocolate with mini marshmallos and a candy cane. Also cooled with milk.
ReplyDeleteoohh so nice. I love spicy hot chocolate, so i take ghiradelli's baking cocoa, add some cayenne pepper, and mix it in with some hot milk.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf! My favorite mix-in for hot chocolate is whipped cream on top =9 and probably anything else I can find lying around whether it be more cocoa, cinnamon, or candy crumbles!

I love all hot chocolate, but the darker the better for me.

Ooo I just love the colors on the scarf and the wonderful fabric you used. My favorite hot chocolate is the raspberry ones, but during this time of year, I love to hang one of the small candy canes on the edge of my hot chocolate cup. The candy cane dipped in the hot chocolate adds a nice minty flavor :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite mix in would be butterscotch schnapps. MMM hot toddy
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is -wonderful-. I'm a traditionalist, marshmallows all the way!
ReplyDeleteI always add marshmellows to my hot chocolate but I really love home made cream

ReplyDeleteWow, it's wool! I am so loving wool lately. I think it is because I just moved to another climate. Count me in!

ReplyDeleteI like marshmallows. Yum!

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what your cutoff time was so I'm going to comment just in case ;) I know a lot of the blogs were extending their deadline because of the amount of blogs participating. I've never been adventurous with my hot chocolate, just marshmellows! But I've thought abut differnt add ins for this season. I;ve tried "Mexican Hot Chocolate" before though, and really liked it!!
