Hot Chocolate 101

Oh so rainy.  I hate it when it rains especially when I have a guest here who wants to explore and go on adventures like me.  Sigh.

Sandy and I decided to wander into the kitchen for a snack and we noticed the kettle was going.  Was my roommate going to make something?  What could it be?  Instant soup?  Hot tea? Hot chocolate?  

Out of nowhere a mug appeared.  This day is looking up for Sandy and I.

Let's see what kind of supplies we have in the cupboard.  I bet there is some hot chocolate up there.  "Let me check it out". 

Climbing up these cupboards is hard work. 

 Hmmm, looks like the humans could do a better job of organizing the cabinets but no time to supervise that project I see the hot chocolate mix.  "Get it Little Fox" Sandy said. I better not waste any time.

Ok, looks like our first hot chocolate today is Swiss Miss.  "I give it an 8 out of 10" Sandy said.

I think we should look at all the brands first. 

In the pink package we have diet hot chocolate.  Sandy and I just stared at each other in disgust.

Some 

Some chocolate nibs, good in salads but not so much cocoa. 

AHA! This cocoa will be great.  It's from Crate and Barrel and it's in a holiday tin.  I think we should try this brand Sandy.

The cocoa mix is in the cup. 

Some hot water placed in the cup and it looks like Sandy found some creamer to add into the cocoa. 

I think we should add some cream too. 

"Absolutely" Sandy says.

It was a lot of work to make this treat.  We had to decide which cocoa to make, I had to scale the cabinet wall, Sandy had to navigate the fridge and we had to wait patiently for the cocoa to cool down.  Sandy and I worked hard but our treat was definitely worth it and a good activity on a rainy day.  Now that we are fortified, we need an adventure!!!!
