On Saturday evening we went to BIL Bill and my sis, Jodi's house to watch the Lynden Lighted Christmas Parade. They live on Front Street and have a covered porch. This was great as it was raining. Jodi sets up a hot cocoa bar and her cocoa is delicious. She shared her recipe and now I'm sharing with you. It should be called Christmas in a Mug!
- Creamy Crock Pot Cocoa
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, I think milk is fine, I mean you don't want your entire daily caloric allowance in one cup on cocoa.
- (1) 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 6 cups milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups of chocolate chips (milk chocolate OR semi-sweet)
- Pour all the ingredients into a crock pot and whisk together until well combined.
- Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot and chocolate chips are melted. Whisk well before serving.
- Serve with marshmallows, whipped cream, sprinkles and for the adults whipped cream vodka, or chocolate vodka or Irish Cream.
Jodi has an Elf on the Shelf house. It's a two story, dreamy, Christmas palace for Elf. She is on Instagram @homewithelf and you can follow along to see what Elf is up to during the Christmas season. Every detail is adorable.
I laughed so hard visiting with these friends that I went home with a side ache.
Totally worth it though!
Hubby and I had a wonderful weekend, watching one of our favorite movies, Auntie Mame, decorating for Christmas, church on Sunday, Christmas shopping, going out for lunch and enjoying the parade with friends.
It's snowing this morning and I love snow. I don't think it gets any better than snow in December.
'Tis the season!
