In the colder weather hot chocolate is made to keep us warm and in my case sane. There are many options of how to do it. Do you use chocolate mix, chocolate syrup, or mix? Do you use water or milk? Do you add whip cream to the top or not.

Milk with syrup sounds yummy and luxurious! If I got used to drinking that, I'd feel deprived when it's not available, so I keep it real by only drinking a water/powder mix. Powder and water are always available. #1st-World-Problems

I, like Ron Swanson, and other "real" men, do not drink candy. But if I did I would do it this way.
Take 1 lb of your favorite milk chocolate (If I had a preference it would be Godiva) and 1 lb (by weight, use a scale) of heavy cream. Heat heavy cream to almost a boil, stir into chocolate to create a ganache.
Heat more heavy cream & portion into mugs. Stir in chocolate ganache to favorite consistency. It will melt into the cream almost effortlessly. The remaining ganache can be kept in a closed container for weeks in the fridge. Or you can let the ganache cool, portion into bite size balls, roll them in powdered sugar, or cinnamon and have traditional french chocolate truffles.
Since I don't drink anything but Lagavulin this is all just rhetorical though.

To answer the question. Yes. With a little Irish Cream added.
And on cold camping, festivals and backing a shot or two of the harder straight whiskey added.

All together or individualy.
Wife likes bailys. But those are all great too.
Sounds a bit like a White Russian Hot Chocolate.
May have to keep her from that one though.

Powder cocoa (not mix like Swiss Miss) with hot milk and marshmallows added. Whipped cream is for heretics that go to Starbucks.
