It's quickly becoming a tradition in the Mad Men kitchen to have a mug of hot cocoa after playing in or shoveling snow. We've drunk a lot of hot chocolate in the past few weeks.
Today I had the desire to make from scratch. I found this recipe on allrecipes. It was highly rated, I had all the ingredients; yippie!
A tried and true Swiss Miss fan, I but those boxes like crazy when they go on sale at like 79 cents a box. But this is even cheaper, and has all ingredients you'd recognize--cocoa, sugar, milk... the only not really REAL ingredient is the marshmallows (but, be honest. You know you're putting those marshmallows into the Swiss Miss anyway ;) )
This was so easy and so tasty. It got a thumbs up from the hubby and The Boy asked for seconds. Hubby even saved the leftovers for another time.
Fluffy Hot Chocolate; slightly adapted from allrecipes
- 8 teaspoons sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking cocoa
- 4 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
- In a saucepan, combine the first four ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat until the marshmallows are melted, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and cinnamon. Ladle into mugs.

Oh man, I'm out of marshmallows - or else I'd be making this right this second!
