Make a Homemade Hot Chocolate

Are you lately tired from the bland flavor from powdered cocoa mixes?

It would appear that when the temperature begins to fall and then my children start requesting hot chocolate.

How to Make  Your Own Homemade Hot Chocolate

For a long time, I kept my pantry stocked with a number of store bought hot chocolate mixes, until one, snowed bound day, I found myself without. It was eventually then I discovered how simple It‘s in order to make a homemade hot chocolate on my very own.

The ingredient list Couldn‘t be more simple, all of you most likely already have it with your pantry.

To spice your hot cocoa add inside a cinnamon stick or pinch of cinnamon at step #2, or perhaps a drop of peppermint extract to mimic the delicious peppermint hot chocolate from Starbucks.

I sometimes pack hot chocolate inside a thermos and send it to college with boys. Their favorite method to enjoy a cup of homemade hot cocoa is next to some bowl of homemade popcorn being an after school snack throughout the winter months.
