When kids are wet and cold from playing outside, a cup of hot cocoa
will make them feel warm and toasty.
Here are the ways our readers spruce up their favorite winter drink.
We suggest starting with good home made cocoa, like mom used to serve, this makes a world of difference. You'll find the recipe on the can.
Garnish your cocoa with a candy cane which can double as a stirrer.
Whipped cream and colored sprinkles make this drink super special!
Top with whipped cream, cherry and chocolate sauce
Make a "Milky Way" drink by adding caramel topping.
Place chocolate chips in the bottom of a clear glass mug.
Add steaming hot milk and stir the melted chocolate.
Top hot cocoa with whipped cream and cinnamon
Drop a scoop of peppermint ice cream into a mug of hot chocolate.
Put two large marshmallows in the bottom of an empty cup and pour hot
chocolate on top so that the marshmallows melt. Serve with graham
crackers to make s'mores in a cup
NOTE: If your child is lactose intolerant, the above drinks can be made
with soy or rice milk and Tofutti or Sorbet instead of whipped or ice cream.
