Ok, it's cold outside and we all need a "snack" break from school, so let's have hot cocoa!  And what about homemade marshmallows?

I make my own FAVORITE hot cocoa.  It might be too “plain” for some, but I like the “basics”, so it’s just…..

• Frontier’s pure, organic cocoa (*I really believe it tastes BEST!), with some
• Frontier organic cane sugar

I once got a gift of a fancy "tin" of "Hot Chocolate".

Inside was nothing but SHAVED chocolate!  That’s it! 

So, there’s another “easy” hot cocoa option! 

Some folks leave hot cocoa as it is. 

An elegant few fancy it up with whipped cream and chocolate shavings!  Yum!

Others like marshmallows on top! 

I found a “How It’s Made” that includes a recipe for HOMEMADE marshmallows!  (*Do I hear a SCIENCE PROJECT coming on???)

(*If you don't want to use gelatin, some health food stores have “vegetarian” marshmallows, so maybe a vegetarian gelatin substitute like Agar Agar (*from seaweed, I think) would work in this recipe.  I don't know.  Try at your own risk for I haven't tried these and I won't be responsible for culinary flops, ok?  Anyway, go here http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/question128.htm!
