If rich hot chocolate is your winter wish, consider a healthy alternative. Like the hot chocolate you usually make at home, this simple recipe can be whipped up in a matter of minutes. But, unlike the popular single-serving packages, this version is made with high-quality, good-for-you cacao and sweetened without sugar. Put on the kettle and bundle up with an oversized mug of this cacao bliss.
