Growing up, my mom would make a cup of hot cocoa from the packets when I came in on really cold days. The ones with the little marshmallows were always the best kind. Even though they melted right away, I always felt like it was missing something if they weren’t there. And then I’d pile on more, bigger marshmallows from the bag. The more, the better has apparently always been my motto. Thankfully, you can have as many marshmallows you want in our Hot Cocoa Craft!
