Simple to make (key for me) and very tasty! Made it for my kids just now after playing soccer games in chilly weather. I think I'll make hot cocoa this way all the time...no more packets!

My mom used to make this when I was younger. It was the best. I just made some to take the chill off. It is delicious!!

Perfect hot cocoa! I prepared it with the vanilla in the cocoa but used a cinnamon stick for a stirrer and sprinkled a little ground cinnamon on the whipped cream. It added a lovely extra note to an already fantastic treat. Very easy to put together and so much better than the store-bought powder mix. The kids loved it too. Thanks for sharing!
