This truly has to be one of the best hot cocoa's I have made in a very long time. I used Double Dutch Dark Cocoa (1 Tbsp for a single servings) and Splenda for the sugar with skim milk . The pinch of salt and bit of butter add so much and the maple vanilla combo with the chocolate is wonderful. A perfect fall and winter treat for the whole family.

Carly loved this (as did I) and claimed it as "her hot chocolate". Will make again but with half the recommended sugar. Made for Bev Tag.
