apOne of our favorite Starbucks drinks - no matter what time of the year it might be - is the Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoaa. It's the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, much like a snickerdoodle cookiea, and it's a great accompaniment for dunking your favorite treats inside! Because we love this drink so much, we've come up with our own recipe that's just as good and decadent as the Starbucksa original. The best part? You can make it whenever the craving strikes at a fraction of the price! pbr ppbr pRelated: Starbucks Secret Menu Drink: Cookies and Cream Frappuccinoapbr br Starbucks Snickerdoodle Hot CocoaFrom Nicole Iizuka, POPSUGAR Foodpbr IngredientsollibCinnamon dolce syrupb:brbr 1 cup waterbrbr 12 cup granulated sugarbrbr 12 cup brown sugarbrbr 12 tablespoon ground cinnamonbrbr 12 teaspoon vanilla extractliolbr ollibSnickerdoodle hot cocoab:brbr 1 cup whole milkbrbr 2 tablespoons white chocolate saucebrbr 1 tablespoon cinnamon dolce syrupbrbr Whipped creambrbr 1 tablespoon granulated sugar plus 1 teaspoon cinnamon, mixed togetherliolbr Directionsolbr liTo make cinnamon dolce syrup: In a pot over medium heat, add water, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
