Today, I'm here to tell you that there are more ways to enjoy hot cocoa than traditional chocolate! Yes, we have mudslide hot chocolate or pumpkin cocoa, and now we have white chocolate hot chocolate! But I should say, this isn't any white hot chocolate, this is coconut flavored white hot chocolate!

This white hot chocolate recipe is made with half and half, coconut milk, SPLENDA® Sugar Substitute and creamy and sweet chopped white chocolate.  A little vanilla and coconut extract bring it all together.   The coconut milk brings forth the deep coconut flavor and while the white chocolate adds creaminess, what makes this rich chocolate sweet is the SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener that is whisked right.  SPLENDA® gives you the sweetness without all the calories.  SPLENDA® sweeteners are versatile enough that you can use it baked goods, in your cooking, and, of course, in beverages just like this white hot chocolate.
