Hot chocolate already warms you up from the inside out–but the addition of Baileys makes it doubly so. A mug of Baileys hot chocolate can be served as a beverage after coming in from the cold, but also as a breakfast accompaniment to a wintery pastry or as a dessert to be enjoyed in front of the fire. —Lauren Habermehl, Pewaukee, Wisconsin
