It’s pretty easy to make. All you have to do
is add cocoa powder with sugar, vanilla, a little salt, and milk. The amount of
ingredients varies depending on if you’re making enough for the whole family or
if you’re just making enough for you to have. You can click here for

Hot chocolate is believed to have
been invented by the Mayans 2,000 years ago. This type of beverage was an essential
part of their lives and culture. Hot chocolate became popular in Europe by the
Mexicans from the New World. Back then hot chocolate was even used by people to
help their liver and stomach diseases. Never would I have imagined that hot
chocolate would have been used medically. Since then, it has changed quite a
bit, and is now a popular drink among Americans and people all over the world. One
of the changes we’ve made to hot cocoa is adding marshmallows to it. Too bad
the Mayans didn’t think of that!
For me, waking up to hot cocoa on a
snowy winter day would cheer me up, and definitely warm me up! Of course the
marshmallows are my favorite part. My
best friend’s mom makes homemade marshmallows to go in their homemade hot
chocolate. She cuts them out into little hearts and plops them right into their
hot cocoa. They’re adorable and they taste wonderful!
If you want to make these super
cute marshmallows you need to buy three packets of gelatin (unflavored), corn
syrup, granulated sugar, kosher salt, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. There’s
a link below that will take you to the recipe and tell you the details of
making these marshmallows. Definitely don’t forget the powdered sugar! It’s the
most important part. Without it you will have sticky fingers and sticky
counters for the rest of the day!
Homemade is always better than the
store bought stuff. It might seem like more work at the time but it’ll pay off.
You can save money and it’ll taste better!
