Hot chocolate is winter in a mug: warm, sweet and topped with marshmallows if you're doing it right. Its vocabulary is ideal for puns. "Cocoa" sounds like "coco" and "co-," "mug" doubles as a face and a robbery, "marshmallow" hides "mellow," and "whipped" and "steamy" have their own second meanings.
