Hot Chocolate Recipe

We whipped up some hot coco to get ready for the cold winter nights ahead down below! There’s nothing like a hot cup of coco while playing board games with the family!

Okay, what is the Han Coco? Han Coco or cocoa is out of this world hot chocolate. It’s rich, chocolaty, plus delicious. And it is topped with homemade meringue with toffee crumbles then toasted using a torch. We took the liberty of spelling cocoa with the four-lettered coco, but only because visually it is closer to the Solo spelling than cocoa. So for all of you word nerds out there, I know the difference between coco and cocoa, so back off! If you love hot chocolate, you will love our Han Coco + Meteor Meringue.

I used my Cricut to make this coffee mug in a Rae Dunn inspired font.
