What sets the Dark Sugars hot chocolate apart visually and taste-wise are the three kinds of long chocolate shavings on top of the drink. This makes your cup a visual treat and, once you've stirred the shavings into the drink till they melt, it makes the drink all the more delicious.

There is a range of hot chocolate flavor options at Dark Sugars to explore, from chili to praline. However, the three kinds of chocolate shavings — white, milk, and dark — are a constant feature on top of every drink.

2) Glace, New York

While chocolate shavings on top were what set the Dark Sugars hot chocolate apart, the highlight of the Glace hot chocolate is the marshmallow ring on the rim of the cup.

The homemade confection is a fluffy delight, and underlines why real marshmallow is always way better than the variety you get in stores. Moreover, Glace keeps innovating flavors for hot chocolate, which compels people to keep coming back for more.

3) Hot Chocolate Bombs

Hot chocolate bombs are a hassle-free idea to savor a cup at home. Simply harden chocolate filled with hot cocoa mix and marshmallows to prepare the bombs. All you need to do next is dip these in hot milk and stir.

4) Les Deuz Magots, Paris, France

French hot chocolate has been a rage in the recent past, and check out the video of the product to realise why. The drink is made by blending heavy milk with melted chocolate rather than the usual method of mixing cocoa powder and milk. The unusual recipe gives a rich and creamy texture to the hot chocolate.

5) Italian Bear, London, United Kingdom

Reputedly one of the messiest hot chocolate innovations yet. The delightful drink features decadent hot chocolate, with three different kinds of melted chocolates — white, milk, and dark — streaming down the sides of the cup!

The experience is called a chocolate lover's paradise, one you shouldn't miss out on.
