Homemade Hot Cocoa with Marshmallows
Homemade hot cocoa with marshmallows is everyone’s favorite winter drink. The more marshmallows, the better!
The Backstory: What could be better than a cup of homemade hot cocoa with marshmallows on a crisp and cold day? It doesn’t matter what time you serve this drink, kids as well as adults will certainly thank you! It is the perfect snack when the kids come home from school or back inside after playing in the snow. Just thinking about it makes me wish for snow (and I live in Florida!) More of the Backstory after the recipe…
