A chilly April week-end is reminding us that it is not summer yet! The flip flops we wore last week have been swapped for rain boots & sweaters today. A great day to warm up with a cup of hot cocoa!

This is my Mom’s (and Grandmother’s) recipe – simple, homemade & delicious!

For each serving size you need :

– 1 cup of milk

– 1 tbsp of cocoa

– 1 tbsp of sugar

 Whisk all 3 ingredients together over low heat on the stove top.

Continue mixing over medium-to-low heat until you reach a smooth consistency and desired temperature. That’s it! 🙂

For fun, I used tiny cookie cutters to turn store-bought marshmallows into little shapes for the kiddies! (A ‘Pinterest’- inspired idea! Original source – www.tambouille.fr)

It was so cute to see their reactions! A simple marshmallow trick that brought a lot of excitement to our children’s day!
