Today is National Cocoa day.

The best way to celebrate National Cocoa day is to make a big batch of hot cocoa for everybody. We took crockpot hot cocoa to church today and it was a big hit.

Here is that recipe.

1 & 1/2 cups sugar
1 & 1/4 cups cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla
3/4 gallon of milk (just pour until the crockpot is full)

Wisk ingredients together well and turn your crockpot on high. It will take about 1 1/2 hour for the hot chocolate to be ready to drink. Serve with marshmallows and candy canes, or mint candies. I’ve also heard that a little peppermint extract is yummy, though I’ve never tried it.

This recipe served more than 20 people at church today. It was gone quickly.
If you only have a couple of people drinking you can just cut the recipe in half.

So, have a happy cocoa day!
