Hot Chocolate Stir Sticks
I remember as a child coming in from the cold absolutely freezing.
The best part about becoming a human popsicle was the hot chocolate!
Not much has changed.

I still love going out into the snow with my boys.

Now that I’m older, my tastes have definitely become more sophisticated.
I love hot chocolate… but on a more grown-up level. (Although, really, I never pass up a good cup of hot cocoa.)
But if I have my druthers, I like my hot chocolate to have some oomph to it.
These hot chocolate stir sticks are just the trick!

Who needs a little extra chocolate? Me! (raises hand) As soon as my kids go out in the snow, I know it’s time to put the hot chocolate on for when they come back inside. 🙂 These stir sticks will make it extra special next time.
I love giving these stir sticks as gifts, too!
