Who says hot chocolate is only acceptable for winter months? This maple hot cocoa recipe is perfect for those crisp mornings and cool nights that we have in Spring and Fall. Of course you can enjoy it in the winter but don’t think for one second that hot cocoa can only be enjoyed fire side.
I love this simple recipe and the lovely decadence the maple syrup gives the hot cocoa. Whip some up on Saturday morning for breakfast. You won’t be sorry.
