Hot Cocoa Recipe
It’s snowing outside and what is better than snuggling up with a cup of hot cocoa?
I and the girls had so much fun putting this recipe together. Eva loved dipping her candy cane in the hot cocoa and Bekah went all in on the whipped cream :)
It was the perfect snowed in Sunday activity for us!
Your kids are going to have just as much fun putting this together and drinking it as a family :)
I included two recipes here. One for a single mug and a larger recipe for four mugs. Use whichever one is easier for the amount you want to make.
Also my mugs held about a cup and a half so I made the milk measurement to reflect that. I think they are fairly standard size mugs, but you can also just fill the mug you want to use with milk and measure it that way.
