Cinnamon and Spice Hot Cocoa
Russell's Friday Dinner
Nutritious and Delicious!
Flavorful and delicious - good texture too! It was so easy and made from ingredients I already had on hand. Leaps and bounds better than any packaged mix that is supposed to dissolve into a microwaved cup of water. I added a splash of vanilla to the pot and it was perfect. I plan to make this a holiday tradition!
I used soy milk because that is what I had in the fridge and it worked well. I'm happy this is so easily converted into a vegan friendly and dairy free treat!
