[@dusandestanovic5884]

Definitely the third one, the first two are great, but more like chocolate milk, I don't recognize hot chocolate if it's not thick like a chocolate pudding.

[@FitwaffleKitchen]

🙌🙌💕💕

[@glasperle77]

marshmallows in hot chocolate and "good" are 2 things that just don't work in my opinion. other people have this about pineapples on pizza or sugar on pasta

[@FitwaffleKitchen]

How about pineapple in hot chocolate 😜

[@linnwallman9081]

I’m sorry, sugar on pasta? 😳 I’ve never heard of anyone putting sugar on pasta here in Sweden. We’re not big on sugar in general though.

[@kaiayh]

ooh

[@gabeee4332]

While the last seems reallying chocolaty and I am a chocoholic I don't think I'd like drinking something that thick unless of course it's a chocolate milk shake lol
