Vanilla Hot Chocolate

This winter has been weird in Texas. Instead of consistent temperatures, ours have been waffling between the 80’s one day to the 20’s the next and everywhere in between.

So I made us Vanilla Hot Chocolate. Because, if there’s not going to be any snow, we can at least bundle up indoors, watch a movie that features snow and pretend it’s happening outdoors for us.
