I like your addition of actual dark chocolate in this rather than just cocoa powder -- yum!!Reply

YES!! I've tried it both ways but I think including actual dark chocolate is the best 🙂

I always use pre-made hot chocolate packets, but what a fun idea to make your own!!! What are the delicious little white treats with the powdered sugar that are pictured with the hot chocolate? Yummy!!!Reply
