If you’re like me, you love a great cup of hot chocolate now and then. This recipe is one our family has enjoyed for years, especially at Christmas time. I can’t remember where I found it, but I remember it was a beautiful Christmas book with stories and recipes.
It’s a treat I love to do for my family, and when I make it, it speaks l-o-v-e to them.
Try this hot drink at your house sometime. However, I must warn you. After enjoying this one, they may never want to go back to that instant stuff in a package!
So delicious!
