Pink Hot Chocolate
A yummy and easy Pink Hot Chocolate that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, and any other time you need something pink to drink!
Pink Hot Chocolate
Yesterday we made this yummy drink as part of our Valentine countdown. It’s SO yummy, and my kids were pretty thrilled by the fact that it was pink. Even the boys! It’s a fun way to get warm and celebrate the holiday!
My kids think I’m magic. :) They have no idea how the hot chocolate gets pink, and I’ve told them it’s a very special mom secret (passed down to me by my mom), and that I’ll tell them all about it when they grow up. They like to watch whenever I’m working the kitchen, but I made them leave when it was time for the “pink” part. I LOVE it.
I make it a couple of times every year during the Valentine’s Day season, and it’s always a hit. I love to serve it as part of our Valentine’s Day breakfast, and it’s fun and festive for any kind of Valentine party or gathering. It’s extra cold in lots of places this winter, so pink hot chocolate might be the perfect thing to warm up!
It’s a simple recipe, and can be made in less than 10 minutes. I give my kids the choice of whipped cream or marshmallows, and then a few sprinkles for the top. They love creating their own special drink, and it makes it even more fun!
