Hatteras Red Hot Chocolate will melt hearts on Valentine's Day

Our video series "Dine & Wine" showcases different recipes and cocktail mixes using Duplin Winery wines and gourmet products. Join our host, Frank, as he gets the dish on our Duplin family's favorite eats and drinks. If you have ideas for the show or if you're looking for a recipe, let us know in the comments. Cheers!

Duplin Gourmet Chocolatini Sweetzers make the best frozen chocolate wine slushies, but you can also use Chocolatini to make wine-spiked hot chocolate for snuggle-up at-home Valentine's Day dates.

The three-ingredient recipe is snap, just milk, Hatteras Red Wine and a few spoonfuls of Chocolatini. Top it with pink heart marshmallows, marshmallow and then lots of whipped cream or take a cue from Duplin "Dine & Wine" food show host Frank and make a s'mores-inspired topping. Drop a bunch of mini marshmallows on your Chocolatini Hot Chocolate, torch the marshmallows and then sprinkle on some crushed vanilla wafers.

Around Valentine's every year, we package Chocolatini and Hatteras Red in gift baskets available online and in our Rose Hilll and North Mrytle Beach stores. For 2021, we took a cue from Frank and added a couple of s'mores kits and fuzzy hand warmers for a Love 'Em S'more basket that shows just how much you care.

Look for lots of Valentine's Day and Galentine's Day gift ideas in our online catalog.
