Vanilla Hot Cocoa Drink

Hot Chocolate drink is one thing that will ease you especially when it's cold outside. Not only my kids, we too love this during winter months. First thing kids would want when the snow starts to fall and they are heading out to enjoy it. "Will you make that hot cocoa Mamma when we come back?". Who can say no to that request! So I usually cut short my play time to make these hot cocoas for them.
