Cold Friday mornings; working from home and a hot cup of Cocoa, dunking marshmallows in them; that’s what I call a perfect start to my winter morning. You will be reaching for this delicious healthy hot cocoa every day
I do not add any refined sugar but instead, use only a Tbsp of maple syrup and lightly sweetened Chocolate milk. I shot it during the holidays so I did add Marshmallows which did add a lot of sweetness but feel free to skip that and make this as a healthy cup of hot cocoa which will feel like a WARM HUG on those winter mornings. Enjoy! 😍😍
