Hot Chocolate Recipe

I don’t know if any of you enjoy some Starbucks Hot Chocolate during the cold days, well I decided to look for a copycat recipe since I’m a Money Saving Mom and all, and I think this one’s pretty good :) Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp cocoa
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• whipped cream (optional)
• chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions:

• Mix water, cocoa, and sugar in a glass measuring cup.  Stir well.
• Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes to make chocolate syrup, watch closely so chocolate doesn’t overflow.
• Stir in milk and vanilla and microwave until warm.
• Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Enjoy!
