Dreamy Hot Cocoa with a snowman straw is perfect for a chilly winter night with the kids. This cocoa recipe is from Paula Deen and it truly lived up to it’s name of “Dreamy”. The straws add a little festive fun for the little ones to enjoy. Let them make and decorate them themselves as the hot cocoa is warming up on the stove. You will never regret the times spent together as a family enjoying a warm cup of cocoa and more important each other!
