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.
