Do you love hot cocoa as much as I do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, if you’re like me and like to drink it often, you might be looking for a little healthier version to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using just a few ingredients, you can make your own homemade hot cocoa and enjoy it all winter long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to give credit for this yummy homemade recipe to Maple Lane Kitchen<\/a> on Pinterest<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only change I made was that I used Cary’s Sugar Free Maple Syrup.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you try it with sugar free maple syrup and it’s not quite sweet enough for you, I recommend adding a Torani sugar free syrup like vanilla or salted caramel. So yummy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
