Frozen Hot Chocolate and a Blendtec Giveaway!

ByLizzy Mae Early

Frozen Hot Chocolate Recipe

 Rich and delicious Frozen Hot Chocolate topped with whipped cream and chocolate sauce! A perfect treat on any winter night! Dairy Queen’s frozen hot chocolate is still one of my favorite things to get! There’s something about it that’s just so good! 

Frozen Hot Chocolate

Use mint hot chocolate, raspberry hot chocolate or even add a spoonful of peanut butter to kick it up a notch!  I love smoothies and milkshake drinks because they’re so easy to adjust and make your own.  I used almond milk in this one to get a little extra protein and added a little bit of coconut extract to make it chocolate-coconut frozen hot chocolate.

BlendTec Frozen Hot Chocolate

I got my Blendtec a few weeks ago and I became obsessed pretty quickly.  First of all, the blades are blunt.  They just move so fast that they pulverize everything in their way.  Which is awesome for 2 reasons…. 1: I don’t risk cutting myself. 2: Most blenders work great for a few months and then are terrible after their blades go dull, but the Blendtec has a whole different approach!  They rely on power instead of the sharpness of the blade!

I have had just way too much fun with this blender! I’ve made soups, pie crusts, hummus and even crushed candy canes in it!

Why I love my BlendTec

This blender literally makes me smile.  It will say funny things like “Push my buttons” and it will keep track of hw many smoothies you make! So cool! And it will even say “goodbye” and “hello” on the little screen when you turn it on and off. But do you see those buttons? They are magic.  From left to right, you have your smoothie button, the salsa button, the ice cream/sorbet button, the juicing button, the soup button (yes it will blend down your vegetables and heat it up to make you a soup!!!!) and the clean button.  Yes, just give it a little water and a drop of soap and it will clean itself.  Genius.

I love my BlendTec

Yes, I am obsessed with my BlendTec.

  5. I want to make a blueberry cherry smoothie. Been awhile since I had one cuz our blender is on it’s last legs.

  6. I would make this Frozen Hot Chocolate recipe above! It looks fantastic and my husband LOVES chocolate!

  9. I make protein smoothies every morning, and it always takes forever to blend the ice, I can’t wait to try out the BlendTec 🙂

  22. Decisions, decisions-I think I would make peanut butter frozen chocolate. Mmmm, I could go for that right now. Great give away. Have a great Thanksgiving Lizzie.

  30. I would make homemade Nutella!! And definitely this recipe. I love frozen hot chocolate!! Brilliant!

  31. I would either make a peppermint stick shake or a pina colada smoothie. Tough choices! 🙂

  36. The first thing I would make would be a milkshake! They are just so delicious and wonderful…especially chocolate. 🙂

  40. Hi! THIS is sooo great! I’ve been thinking (ok, daydreaming!) about the Blendtec for the past week no joke.
    I’ve been wanting one for so long! But with young children something else needed seems to pop up.
    I would start with smoothies – all kinds! as my toddler is so picky with fruits and veggies! (But getting the slushy effect in smoothies is nearly impossible with my blender.) And after that? Pretty much everything, the Blendtec is just THAT amazing!! Happy Thanksgiving!! 🙂

  42. I don’t Pin Lizzy, but I would like to say how much I enjoy your cookbooks. I use them ALOT. Going to make the Hot Chocolate Cupcakes for my daughter’s danceline ladies next week!

  92. An awesome strawberry daiquiri is first on the list. The key is to use whole frozen strawberries instead of ice. Even leave out the alcohol if you like. We picked and put away some in April, so in mid-winter a burst of amazing strawberry flavor is mind blowing.

  99. I would make homemade baby food! And butternut squash soup because that soup is dope and tasty as freak.

  100. I also pinned your white choclate pretzels, andes cupcakes, peppermint muddy buddies(Yummmm) and pumpkin dump cake.

  107. I would start with smoothies and shakes, I am Newly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and am trying to eat more nutritiously. I am very interested in shakes and smoothies since they are a fast easy way to get what you need. Being the mother of 2 children under the age of 5, Working PT and going back to school I find myself skipping meals quit often, I could see this being a BIG help in my day to day life.

  108. Definitely the frozen hot chocolate. I haven’t tried frozen yet, but I am a hot chocolate manic!

    They all look delicious! I have made the Pumpkin Dump Cake and it IS delicious!

  161. I would love to say that I would blend soup first but I know I would be too excited to try the Blendtec that I would make a smoothie.

  244. My boys love smoothies and milkshakes. I would probably start with one of those. But then…….the sky is the limit 🙂
