Tonight we are having a cozy cocoa night so I'm going to share my tricks of the trade for the perfect holiday night in! To start, hop into some cozy pajamas and grab your favorite holiday mug to make some delicious hot chocolate. Here are my two favorite mugs from last year, both are from Target. Target is my go-to place for holiday items because they're always adorable and affordable.
Tonight, I decided to use the Santa mug because he looks so jolly and the whole point of a cozy cocoa night is to feel as jolly as the holiday itself.
Next step is to make the cocoa! While you can make the hot chocolate from scratch, I find that the little packets can be just as tasty and much less time consuming. I'm going with the classic Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate, but choose anything you like!
Now add hot water, I used my Keurig for hot water but you can heat some up in a kettle or in the microwave.
Almost done, this final step is completely optional but really sets this cocoa above the rest. The trick is to add a bit of vanilla creamer! I know it may sound odd, but it is my secret ingredient that always garners compliments as being the most delicious cup of cocoa.
