This Valentine’s Day keep your honey warm with a beautifully red hued cup of hot cocoa. Serve Red Velvet Hot Cocoa as desert or with dessert, either way it is an inspirational beverage for Valentine’s Day. It is quick and easy to make, yet the red color of your hot chocolate will put a smile on everyone’s face, turning it into an extraordinary Valentine’s Day drink for adults and children alike. I think it’s perfect to whip up as a treat for the kids on Valentine’s Day or to cozy up with a special someone.
