After all, kids love hot chocolate when the temperature drops and this frozen version will be a welcome refreshment all summer long.

This is actually the first time I’ve made this drink. When my oldest son was in kindergarten, parents were invited to help at the holiday party before winter break.

There were parents who owned a restaurant and they treated the kids to a frozen hot chocolate or an Oreo milkshake from time to time. The kids had never had it before and it was a hit. It was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. I’ve never forgotten that drink.

That was 13 years ago. My son is now a senior. It’s taken me this long to make it. He loved it though, so did his brother.

Frozen hot chocolate is the perfect way to use up leftover packets from wintertime. You need two packets to make 4 servings.

I think it’s safe to say this is our new favorite summer beverage. Though I know this ultimate hot chocolate will be our staple on Christmas day though we love the winter white hot chocolate too.
