Lately, we have been getting plenty of cold weather in New Jersey, even though we have had some unseasonably warm weather when fall started. There is no better way to warm up than with a cup of nice hot chocolate or cocoa. Well, an employee at the Lacey Perkins gave my hot chocolate a little bit of something extra, as she stated that the version she gave me is exactly how she loves to do it at home.
While the hoy chocolate was great, the extra pizazz with the whipped cream and the chocolate syrup made it that much more special, definitely putting me in the holiday spirit. Hot chocolate is definitely a memory-trigger, with the first thing coming to mind being the time spent after securing that tree to the top of your car, knowing that you helped pick out a perfect one. Of course, hot chocolate was always a welcome drink after shoveling the driveway after a snowfall. Staring at the picture even warmed me up as I didn't realize that I forgot to turn the portable heater on in our office. Either way, Merry Christmas everyone!
