Sunny Anderson makes an irresistible adult treat: whiskey-spiked hot chocolate flavored with hazelnuts, cinnamon-sugar + crushed chocolate cookies.  

Pro Tip from Sunny: In place of the hazelnut-flavored liquid creamer, feel free to substitute your favorite flavor, like pumpkin spice, or just use plain heavy cream. 

Can't get enough chocolate? Be sure to check out Sunny's new show on Food Network, Chocolate Meltdown: Hershey's After Dark, which was taped after hours at the legendary Hershey Park amusement and water park in Hershey, PA.

Preparation

Add the milk and creamer to a medium pot and heat over medium-low heat until warm. Add the chocolate morsels and cinnamon sugar and whisk to melt the chocolate. When everything is blended and warm, whisk in the whiskey and remove the hot chocolate from the heat.
