Snow Day Hot Chocolate

It’s appropriate to have a go-to drink for a blustery Northern New York snow day; one for the children that can easily be modified for the parents. Of course, for the children you will substitute the Whipped Cream Vodka , for ole’ fashion whipped cream. This drink is warm and delightful, when the weather is a tad frightful!

Ingredients
1 winter snow day
1 packet of hot chocolate mix or
[2 1/2 c. whole milk
2 c. half and half
6 Tbs. cocoa powder

1 to 1 1/2 c. Whipped Cream Vodka (add more or less depending on taste)
Whipped cream (optional)
Mini marshmallows (optional)
1 Tbs. shaved chocolate (optional)

 

Directions
In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the milk, half and half, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla and salt. Stir well to combine. Heat to simmer and remove from heat immediately. Stir well. Add the chocolate morsels and stir until melted.
