    Or well, bitter cold for me anyway, but I live in Colorado… so that’s expected. With January here and the major holidays over, I am moving on to Valentines Day!

    Okay, I might not be totally on to Valentines Day yet. I really just wanted an excuse to make this cute pink velvet hot chocolate.

    What?! It’s cold outside, very colorless and honestly, I just need a fun, warm and cozy drink in my life. So pink velvet hot cocoa it is! It’s the perfect warm and romantic drink to serve now through Valentines Day.

    Okay, so here’s how you make it. It’s really simple.

    Gather up your ingredients.
