What’s better than a Hot Cocoa? A Coconut Milk Cocoa Bar!
I’ve done a super fun break at my events using coconut milk hot chocolate. I set up a thermos of coconut milk cocoa and a variety of toppings like cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne powder, peppermint, and coconut whipped cream. It’s perfect for Vegans, Gluten-Free and meets Paleo too!
