We’ve got rain on the forecast for the next few days, so we are a bit bummed. But, we have the perfect solution to warm up on a cold day!!
Warm and cozy hot chocolate made from scratch! Nothing beats a warm mug of hot cocoa on a winter day!! Since we are right in the middle of a cold winter, we thought that a homemade hot chocolate recipe would be perfect!
It’s time to ditch those hot cocoa mix packets! Homemade hot cocoa is so much better and takes no time at all to make!
This hot cocoa is perfectly rich and chocolate-y, and is definitely worth spending the extra time to make!
Homemade hot chocolate just makes you want to curl up on the couch with a warm blanket, doesn’t it?!
We love to top our hot cocoa with marshmallows or whipped cream and chocolate sauce! We hope you enjoy it!:)
