Snow season! Yeah! Here in Northern Indiana we’ve already had a 9” snow fall and more will come tonight.
Here’s a quick view of our yard last week.
It’s reading season, time to stay in and get some schoolwork done in the morning. Afternoons are a great time for a group read on the couch with a fire and...
In honor of this beautiful time of year to be a family, I’m sharing my new Hot Cocoa Tip with you. We’re cocoa snobs and those little packets that you add water too are going to pale in comparison with what you can do, for less, and better. We use regular unsweetened cocoa and the recipe on the side of the Hershey’s can. Here’s the problem we were having. Often we’d make a batch and have leftovers, which if you’re short on milk, may keep you from a great cup with your afternoon read.
Here’s how I’ve solved that....
Hot Cocoa (Make Your Own Syrup Method)
Here are my directions:
In a small saucepan, mix:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup HERSHEY’S Cocoa
Dash salt
1/3 cup hot water
Stirring with a wisk, mix until thoroughly heated.
Let this mixture cool and stir in the 3/4 tsp. vanilla.
Keep in a small container in your pantry. Don’t add the milk until you are ready to use. Then, just pour a little of your homemade syrup into a cup of hot milk. It can be toddler or teen size, but you never make more than you need and you can add as much or as little as you want.
Peace to your family from ours, Anne
