DIY Hot Chocolate Stand

Winter is officially here, and I am not loving the cold. But I am loving the excuse to break out my favorite hot chocolate recipe and cozy up with a hot cup of cocoa.

This hot chocolate is creamy and rich and full of real ingredients.

Made with maple syrup, almond milk, cocoa powder and vanilla, this hot chocolate recipe is full of goodness. And it’s quick and easy to make.

Hot Chocolate Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 cups almond milk (you can also use coconut milk or regular milk)
• 4 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 4 tablespoons maple syrup (add more or less based on how sweet you like it.)
• whipped cream (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Add almond milk, cocoa powder, vanilla and maple syrup to saucepan. Heat on medium and whisk until all ingredients are mixed together and hot chocolate is warm.

Pour into your favorite mugs

Personally, I like to add a dash of whipped cream and float a little candy bar on top, but that’s completely up to you.
