When you live in a state that is nicknamed “The Sunshine State,” you probably can’t imagine the joy of having the wet cold of winter seep into your bones. But it happens. Going to theme parks when the crowds are the thinnest is a lot easier when you have a warm mug of cocoa in your hands. It’s also the best time to go.
Take a look at these 20 mouthwatering hot cocoa recipes. While it is easy to just mix up a cup and go, there’s something to be said about fancying it up for special occasions or just for fun!
Who knew that you could make hot cocoa brownies, pancakes, cookies, donuts, and even dip! (It’s funny what foods I am drawn to when I am trying to go from overindulging through the holiday season back to my normal mantra of “sweets in moderation.” They just look so yummy.)
