A delicious hot chocolate recipe that is so easy to make and absolutely delicious! You'll love it our favorite secret ingredient - using Keurig 2.0! #Keurig400 #CollectiveBias
Growing up in a household full of coffee and tea lovers; I have always love a strong, bold coffee flavor and tea, as well. I can even remember on the holidays always enjoying a delicious hot cup of coffee after Christmas dinner. I guess you can perhaps call it a tradition. Now not everyone loves the same bold flavor as I enjoy, like my significant other. He will just take a cup of medium roast or a delicious cup of hot chocolate.
That's one of the main reasons why we love the Keurig® 2.0! Every is able to brew their favorite; could be hot chocolate, coffee, tea, or plain water. They have something for everyone - over 400 beverages to choose from, 60 brands, including the 10 best-selling coffee brand in America!
Not only do they just have a huge variety, but Keurig® 2.0 comes with a four-cup carafe. K-Carafe packs, as well as a single cup, K-cup packs! If you have guests that prefer a bold cup of coffee, then you can make a carafe and brew a single cup of something else for your other guests to enjoy. There is something for everyone.
There is another feature that I absolutely love on the Keurig® 2.0 - features a brand new brewing technology™, which can read each lid to deliver a perfect beverage every time! Need a little frothing for your hot chocolate - it has you covered!
Sometimes in the morning or even during the day, I love hot chocolate, as well. Sometimes I will add a little coffee to my chocolate for a quick pick-me-up! It's absolutely delicious and I think you all will love it - I do!
- 2 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar add more if needed
- 3 tablespoons freshly brewed coffee add more if needed
- marshmallows optional, to garnish
-
Add the milk, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar to a small pot and whisk until the cocoa has blended into the mixture and the mixture is warm. Whisk in the coffee and pour into your favorite mug, top with marshmallows.

Our Christmas Traditions include a whole list of things we do! I love Christmas and so does my family. I think it's the best time of the year.
1. We gather things we can donate to shelters, goodwill, donation boxes at the post office, etc. Things that are still in great condition but that we either know we are replacing at Christmas or that we either don't use or won't use for some reason, wrong color, style, size. It's a great way to make sure that people that cannot afford to go to retail stores find something great at Christmas and giving back feels good no matter what income your living on.....
2. We make dozens of cookies and fruitcakes.
We give them to neighbors, friends, family, take to school or work with us, parties, etc. It is so nice for someone to give you cookies, something homemade during this time of year.
3. We decorate together. It's always fun.
4. We make decorations for around the house together too. I am good at floral arrangements, the kids are great at making craft ornaments, etc. Put it all together and viola it is very merry!
5. We have Movie nights ... Nights of pizza and christmas movie magic!
6. We have a list night, we all write our santa letters together. Even the adults.
7. We go to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve.
8. We like to go out on Christmas Day to do something together. Coffee out, skating, something.

Woohoo , this Ozark Farm Chick brings out the full guns for Christmas. It's just the way I fly. Yep, I begin the day after Thanksgiving every blessed year.
To me, Christmas is totally about God and family. I set up a homemade Fudge, truffle, dipped pretzel hot apple cider bar in the utility room. In the kitchen you'll find a big old ham surrounded by homemade hot rolls, Aunt Mary's Scallop 'Taders, mounds of salad, and alllllll the trimmin's.
You'll find the gang gathered 'round a roarin' fire in the family room sippin' cider, droolin' fudge and swappin' wonderful tales of the past year. The eight, (yep...count'em...eight) grandkiddos will be runnin' though the house with some new and fantastic made up game.
Right after the pie the Christmas Story is read by Gramps (Farm Boy) and the presents are opened. The remainder of the day is spent just sittin' back and enjoyin' the hard work that goes into this day but I hafta tell ya'll....it's sooooo worth it!!!
From the happy hills and hollers of the magnificent Missouri, ya'll have a blessed and beautiful New Year....ya hear?
I'm sure gonna......'just sayin' :o)
