Honey Hot Chocolate

Who else LOVES hot chocolate at this time of year?! It just tastes so much better when it's cold outside and the Christmas spirit is in the air! We enjoy making ours with... you guessed it... Honey! =) There are so many delicious combinations one can come up with, but here's a favorite one of ours, using our Angico honey, created by our friend Regina!
