Happy Holidays! As we celebrate another joyful holiday season, I’m cozying up around the fire and grabbing a tasty mug of hot chocolate. In fact, this year I tweaked my standard hot cocoa recipe to be keto-friendly. I already shared my favorite mini-cheesecake keto bites earlier in the year, and while we may not be following a strict keto-diet in our house, I thought it would be worth sharing this homemade hot cocoa recipe since it’s a tasty option for anyone looking to cut sugar but still indulge this winter.
