My name is Merry and I’m a hot cocoa junkie… I’ve been told that admitting it is half the battle. So, boy do I ever feel better.

With winter far from over, in many parts of the country, there is still plenty of time to give these adorable Bonjour Snowman Mugs with Mini Frother when you are faced with your next gift giving occasion. (You can even tuck them away for Christmas 2009.)

This is a set that includes four large mugs, four ‘top hat’ mug lids and battery operated frother. Fill each mug with the hot cocoa recipe of your choice, cover mug with lid and start frothing. Within a matter of a few seconds, you’ll have cocoa so rich and creamy you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

I am not knocking commercial hot cocoa mixes. There are some really yummy brands out there. But my personal preference is ‘made from scratch’ hot cocoa. There ain’t nothin’ like the real thing, baby. The best part is… it’s quite simple to prepare.

What’s your favorite hot cocoa recipe? If you’re willing to share it here, you can be quite certain that chocolate lovers from around the world will salute you.
