Red Velvet Hot Cocoa Recipe

I love hot cocoa. Whether I’m making hot cocoa from scratch on the stovetop or enjoying all the taste {and marshmallows} of hot cocoa in hot cocoa cookie form, it’s one of my favorites! This time, my mug is full of Valentine’s Day-inspired cocoa- and it’s Red Velvet flavored!

This Red Velvet Hot Cocoa is the perfect way to warm up on a cold winter’s day. Just grab a cozy blanket, a loved one, and a couple of mugs of Red Velvet Hot Cocoa and cuddle up to a movie!
