What I Liked
My mind is still blown. My idea of good hot cocoa is one of those little packets that you mix with water, then microwave. I’ve never made my own hot cocoa recipe at home. Now I’m wondering what took me so long to do this. My grandma sent me this recipe and I love her to death for sharing it. This hot cocoa recipe produces a warm and rich hug that kept me warm late into the night.
This was a perfectly balanced cup. It was sweet, with a solid punch of cocoa flavor. It had a deep and complex flavor that was much more enjoyable than a powdered mix. The cocoa was rich without being overly indulgent. Overall, this recipe is a keeper!
