5 Hot Chocolate Recipes Part 2

I found these 5 Hot Cocoa Recipes in the Taste of Christmas Cook Book Hot Cocoa and Other Wintry Beverages published by Barbour Publishing at my local Lifeway Christian Bookstore.  I fell in love with the recipes when I looked at this cookbook and since it was only $4.99, I bought it to share some recipes with all of you this winter.  They are all pretty easy and straight forward, and I think you'll enjoy them during this winter season.

So here we go for today 5 Hot Cocoa Recipes.
