The other day while making a speedy Target run, my second one actually because Mister texted about this tea he wanted and it’s only at Target, I discovered a fall treat to add to the list of pumpkin spice everything. After Little Man and I unbuckled and walked back into Target, found the correct aisle, then found the tea, my eye caught a box of fall awesomeness; hot cocoa (also known as hot chocolate) that wasn’t just regular hot cocoa. It was pumpkin spice hot cocoa! I knew Little Lady and Little Red would love this, so off Little Man and I went to the checkout lane with the tea and pumpkin spice hot cocoa in our hands. Little Man insisted on helping carry these and tossing it onto the belt (vertically challenged, he can’t reach well).
A couple of days ago, even though we were still having temps in the 80’s, the mornings felt like fall with crisp mornings to greet us. If you’re a four season lover like I am, that means it’s time to whip out the hot cocoa! Heated milk, hot cocoa mix, whipped cream, marshmallows and a dusting of nutmeg and cinnamon completed this treat. My chicks totally dug this! Little Man has a hard time finishing an entire beverage so I didn’t make him a hot chocolate that morning. In fact, he likes to begin a drink then leave it out and start on a new one. Yeah, I’m trying to end that habit. So, far, it’s going pretty okay. Anyhoo, back to the fall chocolate treat. I got rave reviews from two of my taste testers. I had a coffee in hand, so I didn’t double up on the hot drinks, but my chicks highly recommend this! And so here’s another thing to add to your fall list of favorites! Ole’!
