This looks great! We can definitely use a cup of hot cocoa today. Temps were in the teens. Very cold and snowy outside. I always remember drinking hot cocoa with my cousins after a long day of sled riding.
Oh wow, stay warm! It is a family fave in my home too 🙂
Going to try this with my kids today, thank you!
Yay! Thank you 🙂
