Nothing screams winter cozy quite like a hot cup of cocoa. I can’t have a cup without being reminded of all the times as a kid, coming in from playing in the Minnesota snow. We would be greeted by a nice, warm steaming cup of hot cocoa from my Mom. What a treat. 

As an adult, a delicious cup of hot cocoa is an invitation to take a time out from the hurry of life. To just sit and relax. Indulge a bit. Stay and sip the whole thing while it’s warm. When you combine that with your family? There’s nothing better. That’s cozy in a cup. 

While hot cocoa is amazing all on it’s own, I decided to have a little fun this time around and create a new treat. I am a huge caramel enthusiast, and combining that flavor with the velvety smooth chocolate of Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate Flavor Hot Cocoa Mix was a no brainer. I also added a scoop of ice cream- I don’t know about you, but I am someone who doesn’t like her hot drinks scalding hot. I want to prepare a cup, and then sit down and enjoy right away, without waiting for it to cool down. And as a mother, I know kids like this as well! They went nuts over this special hot cocoa treat, and I think yours will too! Getting them in on the fun of making it creates a memorable time as well- so set out the ingredients and let them have fun! 

Ingredients: Hot cocoa packets, vanilla ice cream, caramel bits (or any flavor of “chocolate” chips, and caramel sauce. 
Start with your favorite hot cocoa mix- I used Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate Flavor Hot Cocoa Mix- it’s a delicious classic you can trust! 
Mmmm! Smells great right out of the packet. 
Pour in 8 oz of boiling water and stir. Since the ice cream will cool it off, I definitely suggest boiling water. You could also do milk, but I knew this was going to be a rich cup anyway so I just went with water. 
Add in that scoop of vanilla! Feel free to use any flavor of ice cream you want, I’m a fan of classic vanilla, especially when mixing with the creamy hot cocoa! For the kids I filled a bowl with mini ice cream scoops ahead of time, then put it back in the freezer until we were ready. Then they could spoon a few small scoops into their drink! 
Time for a few caramel bits! These are so delicious- they don’t melt all the way, but I so enjoyed digging them out with a spoon. Any type of “chocolate” chip would work too- like mint, white chocolate, caramel, etc. 
Drizzle generously with caramel sauce and you’re ready to enjoy! 

Seriously. So. Good. 

The perfect mixture for a snowy winter day- so gather your family, create -some delicious together, and snuggle in! Use this time to slow down and stay present, enjoying your family, one sip of cocoa at a time! 

If this recipe doesn’t tickle your fancy, there are many other recipes to try at loveeverylastbite.com/swiss-miss! 

They LOVED it! It’s such a delicious cup of cocoa. 
These old fashioned milk bottles are perfect for kiddos to enjoy their cup!
