Our bellies are stuffed and holiday shopping has begun. People are decorating their houses and baking lots and lots of cookies! Here in Kennebunkport, we have a wonderful Christmas celebration called Prelude. For two weeks, our little town transforms into a perfect little Norman Rockwell picture. We do tree lightnings, caroling, minstrels Santa arrives by lobster boat. Lobster bakes at the firehouse, check! Pancake breakfasts and horse drawn carriages? Check, check!

It’s cold outside and we all need something to warm us up. Making your own hot cocoa is so easy and just feels so much better than the packaged stuff. Sip it in a mug on your couch or pack a thermos while you hunt for that perfect tree! Either way, stop and enjoy for a moment. Don’t get caught up in all of the holiday stress. Just take a nice, long sip and relax. Those other things will get done later.

Hot Cocoa

Ingredients

In a medium saucepan, stir together sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Pour in the half and half and heat on medium. Cook until mixture comes to a boil, stirring constantly.

Lower heat to a simmer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add milk and heat through, stirring constantly. Do not allow the milk to come to a boil. Remove cocoa from heat and whisk until it becomes frothy.

Serve with whipped cream or marshmallows.
