Yummy! Just what I needed for a cold Iowa morning. Perfect amount of sweetness and chocolate. Simple to make too. This is a keeper!

Perfect hot cocoa! I prepared it with the vanilla in the cocoa but used a cinnamon stick for a stirrer and sprinkled a little ground cinnamon on the whipped cream. It added a lovely extra note to an already fantastic treat. Very easy to put together and so much better than the store-bought powder mix. The kids loved it too. Thanks for sharing!

This is a wonderful recipe. It is so simple and tastes amazing. I added a little more cocoa to ours because we love dark chocolate. The kids and adults both loved it. Next time I am trying it with lactose free milk. Let us see how it turns out. I will let you know.
