Hot Cocoa

I have a recipe for Hot Cocoa to pass along. What better way to warm up a cold Winter’s Day or Night than Hot Cocoa! To make this Cocoa you’ll be needing Cocoa, Sugar, Salt, Hot Water, Skim Milk, and Vanilla. A Cup of Hot Cocoa sounds good about right now! The recipe is from the Diabetes Self Management website where you can find a huge selection of Diabetic Friendly Recipes, Diabetes News, Diabetes Management Tips, and more! You can also subscribe to the Diabetes Self Management Magazine. Each issue is packed with Diabetes News and Diabetic Friendly Recipes. I’ve left a link to subscribe at the end of the post.
