Hot chocolate is the drink we remember mom making after a fun day of playing in the snow, and something that is now passed onto another generation.

Whether you are making it for a child, or having a cup of cocoa as an adult, it is important to make it the right way for maximum enjoyment.

Here are the ingredients she recommends, and watch the video!

Hot chocolate ingredients:
