I am a hot cocoa LOVER-
all kinds!
some of my favs include: vanilla, caramel, and milk chocolate of course!
Why?
Because both girls love to have it with their breakfast in the mornings,
as part of their afternoon snack,
and anytime they go outside and need to be warmed up-
which is all the time.
What flavors do you like??
How do you like it made- with milk or water?
Marshmallows too?
When it's rainy we have hot chocolate, even in the summer. It's a tradition the boys love. Same goes for snow.
ReplyDeleteStephen's hot cocoa is the Best. Cocoa. Ever.
(that I've had). My faves Mint Truffle, Roasted Hazelnut & Milk Chocolate. I love marshmallows!
Jake's faves are Amaretto, Raspberry, Belgian Dark Chocolate & French Vanilla. So we always have a bunch of different flavors.
With our cocoa, we like to snack on crackers topped with raspberry jam & cheddar cheese. Yum! When we have our snack, I use water. It doesn't fill me as much as milk does.
I have to say that although I love the flavor selection of Stephen's, I'm not the biggest fan (GASP!). I happen to LOVE the Nestle Abuelita's hot chocolate above all others. You can find it in the latin section at most grocery stores. It comes in a little box and it's actually these blocks of chocolate and sugar that you drop into a pot of milk and just cook and whisk until it melts into the milk. Soooooo good! I like the richness of it compared to the other hot cocoa mixes out there.
ReplyDeleteYes, it can be a bit more time consuming (but if you're already making hot chocolate for multiple people I think it's easier). But it's so worth it!
