The wind is howling –
boy is it! – temperatures have dropped, and snow is in the forecast. In other words, it’s the perfect morning to
hunker down, settle in, light the fire, and treat myself to a warming cup of
Gingerbread Cocoa. It’s easy to put
together, and its spicy, gingery goodness is a great start to the impending busy
day.
Gingerbread Cocoa
1 cup granulated
sugar
¼ cup Hershey’s
Special Dark unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
½ gallon whole milk (for extra richness use Half ‘n Half; for a lighter version use 2%)
Mini marshmallows,
for garnish
In a large saucepan,
whisk together the first four ingredients until well blended. Gradually whisk in milk and bring to a simmer
over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed
thoroughly. Serve in mugs topped with
mini marshmallows.
