Rich and Creamy Hershey Kiss Hot Chocolate Recipe
When we lived in Pennsylvania we were less than an hour away from Hershey so we used to go out that way a lot. They do a huge Christmas lights event. While heading out there we were told to grab some Hershey Kiss hot chocolate we thought ok but it's a little weird it's at a gas station right?
Well, those guys knew what they were talking about! It was the best hot chocolate I've had in my life. Rich and creamy and perfect. We made it a point to stop and get some every time we were in town.
