Classy cocoa for kids AND grown-ups!

Usually, classy has a lot to do with the presentation. There's nothing special about this hot cocoa--  no special recipe, no secret ingredients. But I can guarantee you it will taste better because it's in a fancy,    festive mug, with whipped cream, cocoa powder sprinkled on top, and a peppermint stick. (I just broke off the curved part of a candy cane and stuck that end in the mug with a smooth end sticking out) This would also be a good opportunity to use my little chocolate shapes-- I could stick one of them into the whipped cream.

The Christmas season is a fun time to be creative and make special, classy treats out of ordinary treats. (Are treats ever ordinary?) Kids and grown-ups alike will enjoy a cup of fancy hot cocoa this Christmas. There's just something about Christmas. There's just something about sitting around the Christmas tree or around the kitchen table with family and friends. There's just something about spending a little extra time to make memorable holiday treats.
