Earlier I posted a Sugar-Free Hot Cocoa….. well now it’s the regular Hot Cocoa’s turn… as Grill… one of my fellow bloggers and regular readers pointed out… he has sworn off chemicals… so the regular hot cocoa it is….
Actually I had planned on posting this earlier today… and well…. the day just got away from me…
The recipe is actually the same as the sufar-free version… just instead of a sugar substitute … you use sugar… the actual Hershey recipe says 2-3 teaspoons of cocoa (3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon) and I found you really need the full tablespoon for the best cocoa flavor…. so I’m listing it in the ingredients as 1 tablespoon..
This makes 1 serving.
I listed whipped cream and mini marshmallows as optional... as you can see from the picture... I'm a whipped cream girl.... it does add a nice richness to the hot cocoa.
Again…. I recommend a change from the Hershey method… instead of putting the cocoa and salt in a cup and adding the milk…. heat the milk in the microwave on high and add the rest of the ingredients to it… whisk it a few times and it’s done and well mixed… just pour into a cup and enjoy!
