15 homemade hot cocoa recipes to keep you warm this Winter season!
Just because Christmas is over, the warm, comforting and cozy drinks don’t need to be. The cold weather is still here and the craving to have a warm drink very much is as well.
One of those warm and comforting drinks is hot cocoa. It is just a classic that was a pretty monumental part of my childhood. Was it yours?
Growing up, we would bundle up, go out and play in the snow or just the chilly weather. When it was time to come inside, we would lay our wet shoes by the fire and make some hot chocolate on the stovetop. My favorite way to enjoy hot chocolate is with milk (not water) and topped with some whipped cream.
Usually when someone says hot chocolate, we think of the powder that you add into warm milk or water. I mean, that is where my mind goes. Although, there are so many homemade hot chocolates out there that are more than just a powder.
Spice your hot chocolates up a little this winter with these homemade hot chocolate recipes.
