Try this rich homemade hot cocoa!
(Makes one serving.)
  • 1 C milk
  • 1 Tbs. cocoa powder
  • 1 heaping Tbs. sugar
  • dash of vanilla extract
  • 2 dashes of cinnamon
  • 1 candy cane or dash of peppermint extract
  • Optional: whipped cream and marshmallows
Microwave milk in large mug for 60-90 seconds. Add cocoa, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon and mix in with spoon or small whisk. (I have a little whisking tool called a mini-whipper from Pampered Chef that works wonders and minimizes splashing.) Add candy cane (or peppermint extract) and allow it to melt a little. Stir with spoon. Top with whipped cream and/or mini marshmallows. Enjoy!
