Make hot chocolate with a twist

WEST VILLAGE, Manhattan (WABC) -- When it's cold outside what's better than having some hot chocolate to warm up? But you don't have to serve it up the old-fashioned way, now you can have it with a twist.

We hung out at Snowdays, a treat shop in the West Village where founder and owner Tony Quach whipped up some hot chocolate with us. He shared with us his special recipes that he created. There's sure to be something for everyone, from the traditionalist to the adventurous.
