Simple Homemade Hot Cocoa

In my effort to eat more real and clean foods I am constantly adapting recipes to make foods fit my needs and busy lifestyle. I want to eat well but don’t want to miss out on any of the fun rich indulgences of the holiday season. I have found when you stick to real simple ingredients cooking is easier and often taster than store-bought comparatives. Here is my simple clean recipe for Hot Cocoa. It is quick, easy and delicious so snuggle up by the fire, sing some holiday songs and enjoy a clean cup and cheer with those you love.
