Cocoamotion?!

What is one of the most favorite drinks Lyle and Ciara LOVE to share? Hot cocoa from our cocoamotion of course!

We learned a new style of drinking it last year. Ok, so you make the cocoa. THEN, you pour it in your mug with a little room to spare (so as not to overflow), and then you drop a GINORMOUS scoop of vanilla ice cream into the mug. TASTY. Oh and you can hurry and drink the cocoa b/c #1 it's not going to burn your tongue (due to the ice cream), and #2 because you want to be able to taste that small bite of ice cream before it's completely melted. Try it. TRUST ME.


This year we tried something new as well. We got william sonoma hot chocolate and marshmallows. Now let me explain that hot chocolate is quite different from hot cocoa. Hot chocolate is mixed with milk NOT water. It is always made of shaved pieces of real milk chocolate. This makes it VERY rich. The mallows were VERY mallowy too! I put one in my hot chocolate and chatted with friends for a good fifteen minutes and I swear to you that wasn't completely melted when I finished my cup. In fact, it was extremely gooey at the end!
BEWARE hot chocolate is NOT for everyone. Try it at your own risk...you may not enjoy it...or even worse--you may become addicted.

Are you seriously JUST telling me about this now? Girl, it's been snowing here for a month now and you're JUST telling me about Williams Sonoma Hot Chocolate. Ok, I don't frequent the store, because everytime I do, I want to buy everything there...I just can't afford to do that right now, so I count on YOU to keep in the know on the things I need!!! :) Man, I really wish we could have seen you while we were in Louisville! Off to W.S.!

oldie but goodie
