One of our favorite family beverages on a cold winters day. Who can not resist a cup of homemade hot cocoa?! This was created in my lovely crock pot with full bodies flavor, creamy and so rich. It was the perfect day to try this with a New England snow storm. A recipe that is super simple, with minimal ingredients and so tasty. This may not be the most health conscience beverage but, sometimes you need to break the rules every now and then. If you’re making this for a crowd or need to make this ahead of time, this is the one for you. Place all ingredients into the pot, blend, cover and set for two hours while completing your tasks before guests arrive. That is all.
