My youngest son loves hot cocoa in all forms, from all places, at all times. My older one doesn’t. You can’t please everyone all the time, but my youngest and I enjoy it after school and chat about our day.
This is a great recipe for your young ones to work on with you. The milk simmers in a pot over very low heat, and while you supervise the stove, your sous chef can measure and manage the addition of the cocoa, chocolate, honey and cinnamon. Yes, it’s the cinnamon that makes this so, so good.
I’m not going to tell you that I made this for my boy to drink with his dinner recently and I probably also won’t mention that it accompanied popcorn and apples for the nightly meal. Not every meal can be a grand affair, and last week was certainly a busy one. But I will tell you that what I served was devoured, and enjoyed, and it put a big smile on a small face. And despite the cooler temperatures outdoors, I was quite warm knowing how happy we were.
