Hot Cocoa and some freebies...




I just made this homemade Hot Cocoa recipe for a Christmas Party and I loved it! Thought I would share with you fabulous ladies.
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • 3 1/2 cups milk
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
 Combine the cocoa, sugar and pinch of salt in a saucepan. Blend in the boiling water. Bring this mixture to an easy boil while you stir. Simmer and stir for about 2 minutes. Watch that it doesn't scorch. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of milk and heat until very hot, but do not boil! Remove from heat and add vanilla. Divide between 4 mugs. Add the cream to the mugs of cocoa to cool it to drinking temperature. A hot cocoa bar is a lot of fun if you are serving little people, candy canes, marshmallows, whip cream and of course cookie sticks.

 These little beauties are free Christmas tags, just head over to love vs design and download and print. 
Then head over here eat drink chic to print some of these. I like to print mine on card stock and attach some cute ribbon, enjoy and have a Merry Christmas!!
