Hot Chocolate with Honey

We typically do not get a lot of wintery weather down here in Louisiana, but when we do everything shuts down.  Business, schools, our brains... the only thing we seem to know how to do is to take advantage of the white stuff and play in it regardless of age!  That is exactly what has taken place in our neck of the woods for the past 4 days.

 



Emma's "girl" had to play in the snow too!  She is beyond obsessed with horses!

We obviously needed something warm to get our core body temps back up after all of our snow adventures.  What better to do that with than a delicious cup of homemade hot chocolate?  This is super quick, easy and delicious.  You will be amazed at how creamy and delicious this is!  It's like drinking a candy bar.
