Fall Bucket List: Hot Chocolate and Apple Cider


Leaves are falling, you can feel cool weather is approaching, smells of homemade food are wafting into your room, you hear wind blowing --This is the feeling of fall!  One of the best things about fall is the hot chocolate and apple cider.  The rich chocolaty taste of, well hot chocolate and the apple and spice taste of apple cider.  These delicious drinks both warm you from head to toe.  What’s better than sitting down on a cold night, watching your favorite movie, and sipping hot chocolate (or apple cider)?  My answer, nothing! (Except maybe a doughnut to go with that. . .) 




My favorite type of hot chocolate is the Swiss Miss Dark Chocolate Sensation.  It doesn't taste chemical-ly at all.  I am a chocoholic, so this is the perfect drink for me!



However, sometimes it's nice to drink something different, so why not try some apple cider?  When I was walking through the store the other day, I saw this Celestial Seasonings Caramel Apple Dream Tea.  It's a brand new product.  Besides the name sounding really good, the picture on the front is totally adorable!  Who can resist little chipmunks on apples floating down a river of caramel?  And the tea pot house?  It's just all too cute!

Then, there's homemade hot mulled cider.  What's better than that?  You can make your own with these tea bags from The Apple Barn.  If you have some fruit juice, just heat about 1 cup of your beverage in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes or heat on the stove top until "steamy hot." (Not Boiling)  Then, add the spiced tea bag and allow it to steep for 1 minute, or until the desired taste develops.  The longer the bag steeps, the spicier the taste!  This creates the perfect apple cider! 





The mugs in the first picture were found at Barnes and Noble in the Starbucks section of the store.  When we go to Barnes and Noble, we never know what we're going to find (besides books, of course)!  I simply adorable these mugs because I am very interested in typeface.  Besides, when it's containing your most favorite drink, what's not to love? 



Be sure to comment down below with which drink is your favorite!
