TOP ARTICLE: Homemade Hot Chocolate


Serves: 5

Ingredients


Directions:

I don't like the winter. I live in Utah where we have lots and lots of winter. I like the snow on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, for ambiance, and that is it! I am not one to venture out in the snow when I can avoid it, but there is one thing that I LOVE about winter, and that's all the hot chocolate!

I have my favorite mug, but I also have three different hot chocolate mug sets, as well as two hot chocolate machines! There's nothing like delicious hot chocolate, in the perfect season for it! I have tried lots and lots of cocoa recipes, and below are a few of my favorites! These are fun to make as a family, little ones will love to pour the ingredients into a bag and shake it until mixed!

It makes the treat of hot chocolate extra special each time you pull out the mix that you made together as well. I have also included a few recipes for hot chocolate that need to be enjoyed as soon as they are made. These are great to make for groups, if you are having family and friends over. My family always takes a big thermos of hot chocolate when we go sledding, and these recipes would be great for that as well. The powdered mixes can also make fun gifts when presented with a cute mug and a chocolate dipped spoon or candy cane to mix the cocoa with. Be sure to top your hot cocoa with marshmallows, cream, or cinnamon! Enjoy!
