From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Sometimes this is a tough job. I had to test this recipe over and over again to get the proportions just right for you. Obviously, I couldn't recommend the spirits used to spike the hot chocolate without first verifying they were compatible with its Nutella base. They are! If you are looking for a special bedtime or fireside drink, I think you might enjoy this one. It's special. Here's the recipe.
Adult Hot Chocolate with Nutella and Fortified Spirits...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
Ingredients:
1/3 cup Nutella
1-1/3 cups milk, divided use
2 jiggers spirits (i.e. Jamesons, Baileys, Frangelico Kahlua)
Garnish: Whipped cream and cocoa powder
Directions:
1) Place Nutella and 1/3 cup milk in small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until blended.
2) Add reserved 1 cup milk, increase heat to medium-high, and whisk until hot and frothy. Pour into two 8-oz. coffee mugs. Pour 1 jigger (shot glass) of desired spirit into each glass and stir well. Top with heavy cream and sprinkle lightly with cocoa powder. Serve immediately. Yield: 2 servings.

Yum! Think we might have to test them all too before we decide on our favorite fortification.
Very tough job indeed, I feel sorry for you:)
Perhaps vodka will work as well since its neutral tasting. And because its neutral I suppose the amount can be increased, substantially...!
Ooh, yum. This might be my Friday night treat to end a tiring, stressful week. Thanks for sharing!
Please clarify just how many bottles of Bailey's, etc. were used in the perfecting of this recipe. Thank you!
Best,
Bonnie
You sure have been turning out some tasty treats lately
I very much appreciate the sacrifice you've made on our behalf!
a creamy hot cocolate with extra ummph!!
I would love to be fortified with this spirited hot chocolate! Looks delicious!
Isn't that interesting... I don't think I've seen nutella hot chocolate before... duh what a great idea... and the fortification takes it over the top! Glad you did so much taste testing for us... must have been soooo hard!
Beautiful drink. Soft slumber no doubt!! You should have called me to help. ;-)
Thanks for doing the hard work testing out this recipe! We will all benefit--it looks great!
Oh my God Mary I really love this is absolutely delicious!! blessings gloria
I'm sure you had lots of fun testing this one out!!
This would be PERFECT right now. Is it bad that it's not yet noon? :)
I love this twist on hot chocolate! It looks great!
Hey, it's 5:00 somewhere.
I don't often do this, but I would like to apply for a job on your blog as taster. I work cheap.

I LOVE nutella so this is going to be my perfect friday night beverage! What would we do without you mary :o) xx
Ohh, Mary, this sounds delicious. Have you heard of Speculoos paste? They sell it pretty much everywhere here in France (there was even an article about it in this week's NYT) I can imagine hot speculoos milk with some amaretto...and then nutella hot chocolate!
Nutella hot chocolate is a brilliant idea with or without the alcohol!
That was very kind of you to test this recipe for us until it was perfect! Can't wait to try this.
well well well. I have a final exam today and this looks like the perfect way to cap it off!
Oh, Mary...this looks like the most perfect drink to have tonight with my husband, after we put the kids to bed! I luckily don't have to be up for work at 4am tomorrow morning, so we were talking about relaxing tonight and I'm pretty sure I have Baileys and Kahlua--if not, it will be added to the list of things I need my husband to stop and get on his way home! I've never tried Nutella, but hear such great things about it!
Love these at night - have used schnapps too. Now, what kind of shape were you in after all the tasting to get it just right?? lol
Mary, this looks delicious. It's a tough job but someone's gotta do it, Mary!
This sounds so simple, but I can't wait to try it! Bless you for testing all that Nutella and spirits for us! :-)
Thats an excellent hot chocolate, inviting..
I have nutella. I have heavy cream. But no fortified spirits in the house right now. Darn. Thanks for being willing to be the guinea pig for all of us.
Fondly,
Glenda
I've got my shot glass ready to go - And what d'ya know - it;s the weekend :) -
hmm delish want to have it now.
Well Mary, if this was made with that amazing homemade nutella from the other day...you can serve me two mugs with spirited jiggers of your choosing...pretty please with whipped cream on top ;o)
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
Mary, what a delightful hot chocolate concoction. With Nutella and Frangelico (my favorite) you really can't go wrong. Considering the colder temperatures and rain we are expecting over the weekend, this will be something I need to make :o) Thanks for sharing!
love your adult version! thanks for the shout out!!!!!
Lookd delish, Mary!...Christine
oh my gosh I always get so hungry when i visit your blog, Your photos are good enough to eat and your recipes are devine. This recipe is a must to try. Thank you.
Wow. I never thought to add Nutella to hot cocoa!! Genius! I'm a huge fan of spiked "adult" hot cocoa, too, so this fits the bill. These kinds of drinks are definitely one of the perks of colder weather. :-p
Not sure what this may do to the bathroom scalea Tee Hee but it sounds delicious. Diane
Sigh, how wonderful warm and comforting that looks, Mary. :-) We're supposed to get snow this weekend and this would be the perfect hot toddy whilst watching old movies. :-)
Yum! Love this grown up version of hot chocolate!
that looks so hearty and comforting drink to me..gonna try this tonight..thanks for the recipe.
I always choose the unusual hot chocolates whenever I am out buying one and this would by far be my first choice! Sounds absolutely delicious. Thank you very much for you kind comment you left me recently. I can gladly say back to you that I really enjoy the recipes you feature on your blog too! This isn't the last you'll see of me... ;)
What a brilliant idea! Next time I get some Nutella I will remember this~
On a day like today I love the fortified spirits Mary:D
A cup of your delicious Hot Chocolate, a blanket, and a good book, yes this is all I need! Simply delicious! Wishing you a pleasant weekend :)
Wow. Simple and lovely for a cold winter evening. I think my kitchen needs to run several trials to make sure this is fit for sharing...
Totally delectable Mary! What a nice treat for us! I have a brand new jar of Nutella too, just waiting for this.
I must have one now to start of the weekend! This looks fantastic.
What I wouldn't do to be able to have a yummy adult beverage like this one!
I wouldn't have a problem testing that over and over ;)
Looks beautiful!
This is one good looking hot chocolate. Love all the extra yummy flavors.
You had me with the word 'Nutella' lol. I love this! Must give it a try! Baileys is my favourite too. So chocolate + Nutella + Baileys is a REAL treat for me! Will probably cut out the other "fortified spirits" ;).
Oh and thanks for dropping by my blog :).
I never even thought of turning nutella into a hot drink! How gorgeous.
Ooooh...Nutella! I have to try this!!
This would definitely warm you up on a cold winter's night.
I would have loved to be a tester for this recipe...what a lovely evening drink. Thank you for sharing with me tonight! I hope you have a great weekend, my dear.
I appreciate you going to all the trouble of trying out this recipe until it was perfect. :) I will have to try it to confirm your results. Thanks for stopping by my blog this week.
At the end of every jar of Nutella I swear I won't buy another - and now another reason to go out and get one - this has to be tried out immediately!
You had me at "Nutella"!!! What a great combintion of flavors! I will try this for sure!
Totally melting me away! Hmmm...mm... yummm... Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Good day,
Kristy
