So it is definitely fall!  The weather is starting to get colder and it has even snowed here in the Northeast, although it did not stick.  I am sure it is only a short while before we will have oodles of snow!  When the weather is cold, I really like to enjoy hot cocoa, but the powdered mixes are often high in points, and contain hydrogenated oils or trans fat… which is not a good thing!

Last night, I came up with this recipe for homemade hot cocoa, and it is low in points and has no artificial ingredients, like partially hydrogenated oil!  My boyfriend and I enjoyed it while watching a movie, and it was perfect on a cold night!  I hope you all enjoy it!
