Is there anything that says snow day more than a steaming cup of hot chocolate?
When we were kids my Mom always warmed us up after playing in the snow with some hot chocolate. Just warms you right up.
We don't have as many snow days as we did when I was a kid. When we do get some snow, I make sure to make extra special memories with my kids. Sleigh riding, snow angels, snowmen, its always lots of fun. My husband is just a big kid at heart so he is usually the first one to grab a sleigh and go down a hill.
If you have never made hot chocolate before, this is a great recipe to try. It has super simple ingredients that are common in most pantries.
If you want this ready and waiting when you come in from some snow fun, place the prepared hot chocolate into a crock pot on the warm setting. It will be still warm when you are ready for it. Stay warm my friends!
