One of my favorite winter drinks is hot cocoa. I came up with this recipe when I decided to take a break from the normal hot cocoa mix I would usually turn to. I like hot cocoa mix. Its easy, it tastes good, and its reliable. It always tastes the same. But I was feeling like I needed some change in my life, and since I haven't won the lottery and I don't like dying my hair, I resided to changing my hot cocoa. I'm dangerous. Dangerous, I tell you. This cocoa has a bit of a bite. And I like it.
