Hot Cocoa is the favorite special treat around our house during the Winter. I heat the water in a kettle on the stove and when the kids hear the familiar whistling sound they always jump in delight and yell, "Yay, hot chocolate!!" I do have to say that it is probably the ONLY thing that I absolutely love about the long Winter months here in Utah.

 

Since it is a special treat I've started to get a little creative with our cups of hot cocoa. Here is our St. Patrick's Day themed hot cocoa.
