if the weather outside is frightful. . .


Today isn't exactly a hot chocolate kind of day (75 degrees!!) but last week, I went through almost an entire box of hot chocolate packets using my sister's tip on a yummy doctored-up hot chocolate.
1 packet of hot chocolate mix
1 T. of Andes baking chips
6-8 oz. of not-quite-boiling water
I've been using the regular mint baking chips but apparently at some point this holiday season you should be able to find the peppermint ones that are red and white. Either way, you'll be feeling better after your indulgence.

Sounds yummy! I love this time of year, even if it is 75 degrees outside, it is the crisp mornings that allow you to have hot chocolate!

Love your stories and quotes of the boys!

Sounds good. Sorry if you missed me this morning. We had a rough night last night.

I love hot chocolate, too bad it is never cold enough in florida to make it a real hot chocolate day! Hey, do you know if the Youst's have a blog or email? I never got to say goodbye, it all happened so fast.

Now that the snow is blowing outside, that is sounding perfect! I have so many old hot chocolate mixes that need a little "doctoring!" Let me know if you come up with other great ideas involving hot chocolate. Well, besides a good book! If only I had the time...
