Kids in the Kitchen: Cookbook Adventures- Hot Cocoa Recipe

Sharing is caring!

Today is our first recipe in our series  Kids in the Kitchen: COOKBOOK ADVENTURES.  To read the intro to this series, please click here.

The first recipe up is a much loved classic around our house- Cocoa!  We have hot cocoa more than I would care to share during the winter time.  I’m just as bad as the kids!  Snow equals hot cocoa. ALWAYS!  How much snow you ask?  Just a single flake qualifies 😉
