Keep warm with our favorite drink!

I know that we’re “officially” only a few weeks into winter, but this freezing weather that we’ve been having this week has had me and my daughters wishing for spring.  Unfortunately, living in Chicagoland means we’re going to have to endure a few more cold days before our beloved sunshine and warmth returns.

Hot cocoa is a favorite cold weather drink in our family, however my 2nd youngest daughter is dairy free, so we’ve had to compromise and come up with different recipes for our favorite foods.  Here is one of our most recent favorite recipes:

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond milk (or preferred milk alternative)
• 3 cups chocolate chips (oz. or ⅓ semi-sweet dairy free)
• 1 tablespoon chocolate (oz. or 2 dark dairy free, chopped)
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

• Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan.
• Barely bring to a boil and remove from heat.
• Whisk until smooth.
• Pour into coffee mugs and serve with marshmallows.

Enjoy!

Warmly,

Andrea
