The Grinch's Hot Cocoa

While Daddy was traveling and Diana was dancing, Eva "Pidge" and I had lots of QT together.  Every night, after school and work, we would have our dinner and watch a Hallmark movie.  One night, I promised Pidge that we would make The Grinch's Hot Cocoa and she was sooo excited...

It was the first time I let her help me stir on the stove...we were very careful and she was over the moon thrilled to be helping put together such a fun recipe.

This is such a festive treat for the littles...give it a try..they will love it...for its taste AND look!
