I think my husband would have an apoplectic attack if he saw that sentence.I make a killer pumpkin spice hot cocoa from scratch.
He loves hot cocoa. Seriously, LOVES it. We used to buy it from Dunkin' donuts if we were on our way to town a few years ago. But the problem is, Dunkin' sells flavored hot chocolates, so vanilla hot chocolate, caramel hot chocolate, peppermint hot chocolate, etc, which to my man is sacrilegious. The Dunkin donuts we kept stopping at was a new location, and they kept putting the wrong powder in the slots of the cocoa machine. It was too hot to drink when they served it to him, but he could sniff it and tell whether or not it was the right kind. It was seriously ridiculous how many times it was wrong. They also botched my coffee on several occasions.
Now he only gets cocoa from Starbucks if he buys it while we're out, or I make it at home.
All that to say, my husband would definitely not like your recipe. He thinks hot chocolate should just be chocolate flavored. But I'm glad you liked it!
