Hot Chocolate

Hope you all had a terrific weekend. I have been following the news about the big snow storms in many parts of the US. I hope you are safe and warm wherever you are!.  In Colorado, we have  yet to see snow showers this year, which is rather unusual.  A part of me is glad that I can still walk out easily without worries of black ice, shoveling and the likes, but the other  part of me is apprehensive about missing a white Christmas.

The mercury levels are still low enough, and on these cold days something like hot chocolate to keep warm is welcomed. I made this keeping my kids in mind, and I am glad to say they loved it.  This is not a unique recipe I am sure, but a gentle reminder in case you are missing it.  A wonderful chocolaty drink! :-)

This is so good not only for the kids, you will enjoy it also.  Smack!
