Is there anything better than snuggling under a warm blanket with your favorite book and a mug full of hot cocoa? This is one of my favorite ways to relax, especially during the winter.

Did you know? It’s now even easier to indulge in your favorite hot cocoa! Starbucks® Hot Cocoa K-Cup® pods are now available where you buy groceries!  They’re full of real cocoa and non-fat milk for a creamy, rich chocolate taste.

The new Classic and Salted Caramel flavors let you indulge with just the press of a button. Each cup is a satisfying taste of rich and creamy chocolate comfort.

There are two flavors available:

• Starbucks® Classic Hot Cocoa – inspired by Starbucks® handcrafted hot cocoa, each cup is made with real cocoa and non-fat milk for a perfect cup time after time.
• Starbucks® Salted Caramel Hot Cocoa – decadent cocoa paired with a pinch of sea salt and a dash of natural caramel flavor make this perfect combination.

I’m not much of a coffee drinker, but I love to indulge in hot cocoa.  It’s my favorite hot beverage, and I was thrilled to find out Starbucks now offers these flavors for the Keurig®. My favorite is the Salted Caramel.

I keep frozen whipped cream dollops in the freezer to quickly cool off our hot cocoa.  These are so easy to make, and you can keep them in a covered container for up to a month in the freezer! Here’s how to make them.
