The calendar may say spring but apparently Mother Nature did not get the message as the cold weather has returned to Vermont. Here is the perfect hot chocolate recipe to take the chill out. Maple Hot Chocolate!

Butternut Mountain Farm located in Morrisville, VT calls this a sweet winter warmer.  It is the perfect blend of cocoa, maple syrup and cinnamon and of course don’t forget the whipped cream on top.
