Hot cocoa seems to be the honorary drink of winter. I often want to make a nice big pot of homemade hot cocoa, but my family usually don’t want it when I do. Here is a single serving recipe for microwave hot cocoa for those times when a cup or two will do.

In the picture above, my son Zachary is drinking this hot cocoa from his second favorite mug
I poured half and half into my son’s mug with milk. This could be made entirely from half and half or from milk, but I think the combination worked really well. I microwaved the milk mixture for 90 seconds to get it nice and hot. I added semisweet chocolate chips and sugar and stirred really well to mix thoroughly. Believe it or not, this was it. A little whipped topping makes it special.
