Iced Cold Chocolate Wonder!

We finally got some sunshine here at our house. So as we began to drip from the heat, my creative juices began to flow. As the kids hung out on the deck, I ran in and grabbed a heavy pan from the cupboard.

I began making hot chocolate, really I did.

I grabbed whole milk, cocoa powder, some cinnamon mixed with sugar, a little coffee syrup (or you could use a few tablespoons of instant coffee granules), some candy canes, whipped cream and a bucket of ice from the freezer. I recommend making a large container, as this goes quick. Refrigerate any leftovers, if you are lucky enough to have any.

I made two batches of delicious *Iced Chocolate Wonder*...one with coffee added, one with melted peppermint candies and a few drops of peppermint extract.

The two pitchers were thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Later in the day I heard my *4 littles* out in the yard playing, let's go *Starbucks.* Guess I may have been planting seeds.

In a heavy pan on the stove top:

foamy chocolate goodness...just a few more minutes

cocoa ...be generous with it!

cinnamon and sugar for the Viennese style iced coffee


a staple in our refrigerator

Are you drooling too?

This pourable measuring cup made life easier

~Iced Chocolate Minty Wonder~

Somehow I only shot the *Iced Chocolate Minty Wonder*

...hmmm, better go mix up a few more pitchers.

And now I know why I kept all that cocoa in the kitchen pantry

...happy creating!
