My Mom has been making homemade hot chocolate for years. I remember playing outside in the snow with my friends and coming inside to her stirring hot chocolate on the stove, and having warm chocolate chip cookies for us. Now that I have my own children, I love to make hot chocolate for them when they play outside in the winter or when they help shovel snow. Of course, my children love to add marshmallows too, or just eat the marshmallows separately. Since most of my family has been on a Low Carbohydrate Diet for the past few years, my Mom has altered it to be sugar-free now too. If you don’t have any diet restrictions, you can just use sugar in place of Splenda. What is your favorite hot drink on a cold winter’s day? Comment below. Do you prefer hot chocolate or Hot Mulled Apple Cider?
