Hattie Jane's Creamery on the Today ShowThe Unicorn Hot Chocolate consists of a “magical” white chocolate mix topped with rainbow marshmallows, swirly vanilla whipped cream, colorful sprinkles and an upside-down waffle cone (to serve as the unicorn’s horn). Hattie Jane’s Executive Pastry Chef Lokelani Alabanza prepared the drinks in the Today kitchen prior to the show.

“Everyone’s talking about these!” Kotb said as the cohosts received their drinks. “Oh, that looks so good.”

“This comes to us all the way from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, [and we] love it there,” Gifford said.

After sharing more about the drink’s ingredients, Gifford asked Kotb how it tasted.

“Delish,” Kotb said as she dipped the waffle cone into her hot chocolate, adding, “It’s got flecks of gold!”

The two continued to marvel over the drink’s taste, as well as its edible gold toppings. “Thank you very, very much,” Gifford said. “That’s so sweet.”
