Yum! My 10 year old is some sort of freak hot chocolate connoisseur, and
since its cold here, hot cocoa is a daily occurrence. Lately weve been
experimenting with various specialty mixes, looking for the ultimate one.
Her first hot cocoa experience was at a coffee bar back when she was 3, and
I felt guilty indulging myself while she sat empty-handed. Thats all it
took€”shes been a fiend ever since.
