Homemade Hot Cocoa - Day 11

This really isn't baking per se but it is homemade and it definitely needs to be on your list of things to make this year! My friend Elizabeth had some homemade Hot Cocoa at her house tonight and it reminded me that I needed to post this! This is adapted from the recipe on the side of the Hershey Cocoa box with a few must do tweeks.
