Favorite Hot Chocolate
This hot chocolate is the perfect beverage to take the chill off on a cold day. It’s chocolatey, sweet, but not too sweet, and it is definitely a delicious way to warm the belly. My mom started making this hot chocolate when my brother and I were kids and still makes it all these years later. YUM!
