Homemade Hot Cocoa is friendly for gluten-free and all-natural diets.  It uses whole food, natural ingredients, so you can be proud to serve this to your children!

*Note for kids: Child drinking temperature is too low for the ingredients to combine.  You will need to make the mixture hot. Then I like to mix it with a bit of cold milk in their cups to cool it down.
