Notes
Tips for making this recipe:
- I used sliced French bread with butter spread on it and baked. BUT you can use just plain bread and toast in the toaster, adding butter once it has cooked.
- Cocoa powder can be substituted for dark chocolate cocoa for Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa.
- To store: Add any leftovers to a covered container and refrigerate. Reheat on the stovetop.
