Homemade Hot Cocoa

I spent this last weekend skiing in Michigan with our high school youth group and my oldest son who just happened to be having his 15th BIRTHDAY!  (Yes, I'm that old!)

It was COLD.... and I mean COLD!

I don't really know what the temperature was... but I know that I have never been skiing in that kind of cold!

BRRRR!


I took a hot bath when I got home, slept under a heated blanket but I am still super cold (and sore)!

Why am I telling you all of this?

Well, because it leads into the reason for today's recipe!

I can't stop thinking about hot cocoa... I feel like it's the only thing that will warm me up!

So... I have a recipe to share.

It's not my recipe... it's my friend Kara's recipe. 

You know, Kara from karasrecipebox.blogspot.com ?

Yeah, that Kara....My very good friend- that was my neighbor-but moved far far away Kara.

She made some wonderful hot cocoa that I feel the need to share with you on this cold,cold, freezing day.

(And all of you Aussies that are sitting in Summer wonderfulness ... pleases don't gloat....lol)
