As we brace for yet another storm (really, winter, this is getting old), I wanted to share one of my favorite homemade hot chocolate recipes. Enjoy! Image courtesy of Wikiphoto
What You Need:
2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups cocoa
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Directions for Two Servings:
Mix ingredients together. Stir 1/4 cup mix and 2 tbsp hot water in a medium-size saucepan until blended. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups milk. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until hot. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
I like to put the dry mix in fun plastic containers from the dollar store and tie the directions to it with ribbon. Take that, winter!

This is so clever to keep on hand and stored for use during the winter. xo
