Hot Cocoa


I love hot cocoa.  I buy it in 25lb bags.  My kids love hot cocoa.  We go thru it almost faster than NesQuick chocolate milk mix.  We even have hot cups and lids on our counter that the kids can have their hot cocoa in.  My two high-schoolers love taking a nice hot cup of it with them on their way to the bus stop in the mornings to help keep them warm.
On Christmas Eve my mom brought me some Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa mix that she had gotten as a gift.  My first thought was - of course, thanks mom!  But then I thought - pumpkin spice?  Hmmm!?!?!
Well, this morning - not really in the mood for a big breakfast, I just had toast with hot cocoa.  MMMMmm.  One of my favorite things.  I was brave and had the pumpkin spice hot cocoa.  WOW!!  Loved it!!

So for all you hot cocoa lovers out there - this is what I had.  You may want to try it yourself.  It is very good - it is still chocolaty, with a hint of pumpkin spice to it.  It was very good.

I am not sure where you can buy it locally....wait just found where.  Here are the locations from their website. But you can still buy it on their website here.

Temple in El Salvador


My Aunt and Uncle are serving a mission in El Salvador as my Uncle serves as the very first Temple President over the San Salvador temple.  Here is a fun, touching, inspirational video on the youth there and how having a temple close to them has inspired and helped them.
My Aunt keeps a blog of their adventures in El Salvador - and it is fun to see the culture, experiences and people of this country.  I hope they don't mind me sharing their blog with the world.  You can see some fun pictures of their adventures here.
