Homemade Hot Chocolate

Well we finally have snow coming down in Alaska!  It's been going all day long. We had to walk my daughter to school, like we do everyday. She has to wear her full snow gear to school so they can play at recess. So I usually put my son's snowsuit on him too because he likes to dress like her! So we suited up and walked in the snow.  They had a blast! Pretending to throw snowballs (it's too powdery) and making snow angels along the way. 

 When we got back home, I decided that the sidewalk, driveway, and porch needed a mid day sweep. So I let my son play around while I swept the snow away. By the time we came back inside, his face was red and we were cold!!

I stopped buying premixed hot chocolate because I have been making it with cocoa powder. But today, I decide to shave some semisweet chocolate and mix it with some milk! It was delicious, but messy!

Homemade Hot Chocolate

Ingredients 2 servings (for kids 1 for adults!)

1 oz semisweet chocolate, shaved or finely chopped

1 cup of milk

Whipped cream

Directions

Divide the chocolate between 2 mugs leaving a little out for sprinkling later. Heat the milk in a saucepan on medium heat, stirring constantly. When the milk begins to foam, remove from heat and pour into mugs. Stir until melted. Top with some whipped cream and the rest of the chocolate shavings. Enjoy!
