      I like your addition of actual dark chocolate in this rather than just cocoa powder -- yum!!

      I always use pre-made hot chocolate packets, but what a fun idea to make your own!!! What are the delicious little white treats with the powdered sugar that are pictured with the hot chocolate? Yummy!!!
