Cold weather is coming here later this week!
And what would a cold somewhat snowy,icy day be without white hot chocolate? This is our family's all time favorite favorite favorite Christmas/cold weather goody. I received the recipe from a friend a few years back. We had it at her house one cold afternoon and I had to ask for the recipe....this is where I get all my recipes from...I bug people! Anyway,it is divine and EVERYONE needs to make this for their family. It is wonderful on Christmas Eve with a few sweets before bedtime...or really anytime. You have GOT to try it!

Oh this sounds DELICIOUS! Are you the one who posted some yummy green bean recipe with real butter and almonds? I made it for Thanksgiving and it was sooo good. I can't remember who posted it.
What state are you in? I'm jealous! I want wintery weather! It's been 68 - 72 since Saturday!
Dinner theatre green beans...yes,that was me!
That sounds absolutely decadent. Now that 1/2 and 1/2 is diet stuff, right? :v)
sounds great. We are getting some icy weather on Thursday.
Okay, I am really enjoying your blog!!! Mostly because you a very precious person. But also, I must admit, I am loving your recipes. I have been craving potato soup for the past 3 weeks. Everywhere we go, I order it. And, today I made your recipe for it (you posted the link to it a week or so ago). Anyhoo, boy, was it delicious. Thanks!!
And, I am so jealous that you are going to get snow!! Drink some coffee and listen to Christmas music while staring at your blanket of white outside for me!!!
Well,there is just a slight chance for it...probably just freezing rain.
Mmm. . .mmmm!!! That sounds fabulous, and such a divine alternative to regular, ho-hum hot chocolate. I'm taking the ingredients list with me to the grocery store later this week to have it on hand for an upcoming treat.
Thank you,Annette.
