What hot chocolate is supposed to taste like!
Absolutely the best!!!
Just like we made waaaaay back as a kid. Thanks.
I have made my own cocoa as a wonderful before bed beverage many times, but I love the addition of brown sugar. YUM !!!!!!
I’m an old man and that tastes like the hot chocolate that my grandma made for us kids. It just doesn’t get any better than that.
