Hot Chocolate

Usually after the kids come back in from playing in the snow they want something hot to drink.  Hot chocolate and apple cider are typically the most popular favorites in our house.  The other day we had hot chocolate with heart marshmallows which was a hit with the kids.  Snow days through us a little off schedule, but the extra time with the kids is so worth it.  Sitting around the table sipping hot chocolate, talking, and laughing is one of the best parts of having a snow day.

Hot, delicious, and sweet!  Perfect on a cold snowy day!

Chocolate Snow Cream.  The girls have made snow cream with me so many times over the past years that they do it all on their own now.  This is a batch they whip up during the last snow storm.

Here are a couple of snow cream recipes we like to use:

• Snow Ball Ice Cream
• Snow Ice Cream
