Add to the rest of the milk in a saucepan and heat. Of coarse you can do it with cocoa powder and sugar instead of choc. chips, too. Less fat there. <br /><br />I agree The Lazy Organizer gets you thinking.

I've been putting sweet potato puree in our hot cocoa this winter and it's SOO good. Last night I put Butternut puree and cinnamon in instead and it tasted like chocolate/pumpkin cocoa. It was really good too!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475646647058969445noreply@blogger.com
