There are days when I walk into the grocery store all prepared with list in stowe. I’ve planned out our weekly menu, snacks and drinks for use throughout the week. Then there are other days like this past week where I walk in and have a disheveled look on my face because I don’t know where to start. I roam down the aisles just hoping that an idea comes to me and that I go home with at least one complete meal.

I knew I wanted to make an ice cream float. When I was young my babysitter would make me root beer floats and I feel behind that I haven’t made them for my own kids. This one would be a little different because I was making it for adults (kid version available as well.)

Boozy Hot Chocolate Floats came to mind when I was talking with my sister on the phone. Of course my mind didn’t know what to think because I would be combining something warm with something cold. Well, as you can see it all worked out. It’s a winning combination actually and I’m wondering why I didn’t try it out sooner.

You could even get real creative and make a Hot Chocolate Bar for your floats.

For these Boozy Hot Chocolate Floats you are going to need hot chocolate (you can make your own or have the pre-packaged kind), vanilla ice cream, coffee liqueur and International Delight French Vanilla creamer. I almost forgot the toppings like cherries and sprinkles. Those are for kids and grownups.
