As the weather turns cooler, you may find yourself reaching for a warm mug of hot cocoa. I would like to share this great article from Illinois Extension Educator Jenna Smith from the blog Simply Nutritious, Quick and Delicious. Jenna says: While it’s convenient to grab a packet of hot cocoa out of the box, making your own only takes three simple ingredients: sugar, cocoa powder and milk. This is a far cry from the hot cocoa mix you buy at the store, which generally has corn syrup, hydrogenated oil, natural flavor, and other preservatives added. Not to mention, most people prefer the taste of homemade.
