Frozen Hot Chocolate

Hi everyone! Happy 4th Sweet Saturday before Santa arrives. Is your shopping done? I still have a few things to grab. I should probably be out today, facing the crowds and finishing up. Nah! I'd rather be in the kitchen fixing something sweet to share with you. That is exactly what I did. I feel like today's sweet treat would be something served at the North Pole...you know, where Santa lives :).

The Santa Clause

 

He is drinking hot chocolate but they might also serve...

Frozen Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:

3oz of chocolate

2 tsp store bought hot chocolate mix

1 1/2 tsp sugar

1 1/2 cups milk

3 cups ice

Place the chocolate in the top of a double broiler over simmering water.

Once melted add the cocoa mix and sugar. Mix to combined and remove from heat.

Slowly add a 1/2 cup of milk. Stir to combined all ingredients and let cool to room temperature. 

Once cooled, add the remaining cup of milk and the chocolate mixture to a blender with 3 cups of ice.

Blend and serve in a glass topped with whipped cream and Christmas sprinkles of course!   

Sip in front of the Christmas tree...possibly wrapped in a blanket...it's a cold one :)

Here is what I did with the dog bone cinnamon ornaments from last week.

Great simple gifts for all our puppy loves :).

Happy Sweet Tooth Saturday!
