Creamy Homemade Hot Chocolate for Kids

Creamy Homemade Hot Chocolate

The summer has ended and the cold weather is upon us! I still can’t believe last week it was 90 degrees and today was in the 50’s. My wife and 3 kiddos were getting cold so I decided to warm them up with some Creamy Homemade Hot Chocolate! You could just get a little packet of cocoa mix and add hot water but thats no fun for kids. So I found the perfect recipe that will warm you and your kids right up!

INGREDENTS

4 Servings  | 5-7 Minutes

• 1/3 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 3/4 Cup Sugar
• 1/3 Cup Boiling Water
• (3) 1/2 Cups Milk (I used 0% Fat Free)
• Reddi Wip
• Sprinkles
• Smuckers Carmel

Optional:

• 3/4 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 Cup Half and Half Cream

Also real men use pink whisks! You can get yours here.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, Sugar, and boiling water in a saucepan. Mix together with water.
2. Bring mixture to lite boil and continue to stir for a couple minutes
3. Stir in Milk and heat up but do not boil. I used the Nuwave Cooktop to make and keep warm. You can see it here.
4. Pour in to Mug
5. Add Reddi Wip
6. Take a spoon full of Carmel and drizzle it on the Reddi tip
7. Add Sprinkles to your liking

Optional:

1. Once removed from heat add 3/4 Vanilla Extract
2. Add a splash of Half and Half Cream to the mugs your using before adding Hot Chocolate

Enjoy!
