Homemade Creamy Hot Cocoa for SRC
Hi everyone, welcome to this months Secret Recipe Club.
I got to stalk, oops I mean visit the blog Our Eating Habits.
There were a lot of recipes to choose from. I so totally almost went with her Buttery Cornbread. In the end though, I fell in love with her recipe for Homemade Creamy Hot cocoa.
It is the perfect time of year for this comforting chocolate drink. There is nothing better than a big old mug of hot cocoa on a cool chilly fall day. It is so very perfect to make you warm and toasty on both the inside and outside. It also totally blows away the powdered stuff hands down. It is creamy chocolatey goodness that warms the soul.
Jamie who is the blogger over at Our Eating Habits was the blog that I got to totally enjoy this month. Jamie loves to cook, bake and dine out. She mentions that eating is a big part of her life. She also enjoys blogging, trying new recipes and enjoying new restaurants.

Hi Veronica,
Clicking on the title gives a recipe that omits the 3 1/2 cups of milk that
Is listed when hot cocoa in the description is clicked on.
The title recipe lists 6 ingredients and the second recipe lists 7ingredients.
I thought something was wrong when I read 3/4 cup sugar with less than a
cup of liquid. I love your website!!
Thanks for catching that it has been changed.
You post the most welcoming , homey, comforting hot drinks. Getting ready for fall? Know I am! Can’t wait for cocoa weather.
So glad you liked it! My kids always want me to make the homemade kind. So much better!

My co-blogger posted a homemade hot chocolate mix last year and I’ve never gone back to the store bought stuff – isn’t it great? I like adding a tablespoon or two to smoothies or cookies as well!
This is the perfect drink for the upcoming chilly nights. Glad to be part of SRC group C with you!
Mmmmm now I think I’m due for some hot chocolate!
Homemade hot chocolate always so good.
