Hometown Recipes: Cinnamon Hot Cocoa

By Erin Walgamuth:

When I was growing up my sister and I would make ourselves a mug full of steaming Hershey’s Cocoa on cold rainy days. The aroma of the hot cocoa still brings back fond memories of my childhood. I always have Hershey’s Cocoa in our pantry. I use it to make cakes, frostings and some really delicious hot cocoa. My children have grown up with this old fashioned treat and now make it for themselves

Did you know that Hershey’s Cocoa has been around since 1894? The beautiful thing about it is that it’s only 10 calories per tablespoon, no additives, no hydrogenated oils, no colorings, just cocoa.

This recipe is one that my children have always loved. It’s easy to make and is ready to serve in about 5 minutes. I hope you and your family enjoy it too.
