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!
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!
