It's really just warmed up chocolate milk, which is good, but not really hot cocoa. We just got some new mugs that will be perfect! I'll let you know.

This can be done while the milk gets heated. So now you will have a thick cream on the bottom of the cup and as you pour the milk and mix, it will mix nicely and you will avoid the clumps:)Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759759593669865170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1313143544219095171.post-35336672748324651852009-12-17T07:40:23.734-06:002009-12-17T07:40:23.734-06:00This looks like a perfect way to start a cold day....This looks like a perfect way to start a cold day.Mary Bergfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234678984137982414noreply@blogger.com
