I’ve tried a few things and have perfected my routine after having some not so tasty experiences. Usually it was always too watery. So…
First tip: Follow the directions on the box for the amount of water. You’re mug won’t be full but that’s ok! If u want a large cup then use two packets.
Second tip, put the chocolate packet in an empty mug, before you add the hot water. Since we have a Keurig, I pour the chocolate in, then place the mug under and press the button for a small cup of water.
Then, stir and add your marshmallows if they are separate.
Then comes my secret weapon: coffee creamer. Add just a bit since its already sweet.
So far so good! The last step is my favorite – whipped cream! I loooove whipped cream and usually eat a few spoonfuls before I scoop a dollop on top but that’s ok since it’s light, right?
Then all that is left is too drink up!
Enjoy!

I make it with warm milk instead of water.. it is soo much creamier!
Hot cocoa has been my drink of choice lately as well 🙂
YUM, now I want hot chocolate. 🙂

This post made me crave hot cocoa… luckily I was going grocery shopping last night anyway, so grabbed some cocoa mix, marshmallows and whipped cream, and in this crazy cold weather, it tasted SO good!
