WFMW: Simple, but Decadent Hot Cocoa

Be sure to stop by Shannon’s, over at Rocks In My Dryer , for Works-For-Me Wednesday. If you have a quandary, the folks who meet there have a solution!

Now that the semi-cool, fall-type  weather has finally made it to Texas, I have an excuse to make hot cocoa.   You can be sure that I take the easy route because, who really wants to mess up their kitchen just for a cup of hot cocoa?   Are you ready?   It’s super easy – I promise.

Prepare your favorite packaged cocoa mix as directed .   (My current favorite is the Archer Farms Mint Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix, but the Raspberry Hot Cocoa is a close second.)     Once you’ve followed the directions, add a shot or two  of Coffee-Mate’s liquid  coffee creamer.   It adds a rich creamy flavor with absolutely NO work or mess!   It really turns a plain cocoa into something rich and decadent. Yum!

Some of my favorites:
              Raspberry Cocoa with French Vanilla creamer.
              Mint Chocolate Cocoa with Original creamer.
              Milk Chocolate Cocoa with Peppermint Mocha creamer.

With flavored cocoas and creamers – the possibilities are almost endless!   If you try it, let me know your favorite flavor combinations!
