So, I'm not gonna lie, I've been waiting to post this one for a while now. Well... I've been waiting for Thanksgiving to be over so I can start posting everything Christmas! No offense to Thanksgiving. I love every holiday, Thanksgiving included, but it is the gateway holiday to an extra special time of year. This is my absolute FAVORITE time of year!
Can you tell I'm excited?
Christmas is the time of year that my grandma always shined. She would start baking goodies right after Thanksgiving and go strong until every special treat was made and in the freezer to await the special day. I have so many recipes to post and I'm sorry if you are coming by for dinner recipes this month... I will still be posting those, but my main focus is cookies, fudge, candy, etc.
I thought I would start you off slow, with a simple recipe that everyone needs to get through the coldest time of the year. Who doesn't love hot cocoa? The base of this recipe came from my grandma, but I tweaked it a bit making what I think is the best ever hot cocoa mix! Ok ok, I'll get on with it already...
