LOCO HOT COCOA



Loco Hot Cocoa image

My eight year old loves mocha/ja'mocha drinks. I came up with this recipe for her and she came up with the name of this yummy hot chocolate drink. I make this using decaf coffee for the kids, but it could be a delicious caffeinated grown up drink at the end of a nice meal. Don't forget the whipped cream and cinnamon sugar toppings - they are "the icing on the drink" (so to speak!) Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Perfect for those snowy winter nights!
