Mommy and Monkey Treat

With the days getting colder by the minute, and the fact that we had our first snow fall last week, (And while it only lasted a brief amount of time, melted right away, and the sun came out after, it was still SNOW!) we all have to face the fact that winter is almost here; and before we know it, we'll be shoveling ourselves out of the house on what will seem like a daily basis.  Well, except for those of you in Florida and other "tropical" states. For you.....well, my mom always said if I can't say something nice, not to say anything at all....) I'm always on the lookout for warm and comforting after school treats for Alex; and if Mommy can enjoy it too, all the better. We love Nutella. That is no surprise to anyone reading this. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when my cousin Tricia over at Recipe Roundup, showed me a brand new Nutella recipe she found. I immediately "pinned" it to my board on Pinterest, and couldn't wait to try it. This ingenious drink came from Cookin' Cowgirl and I am eternally grateful! It was SO yummy and the perfect thing to warm a monkey up after a cold day!

Nutella Hot Cocoa  from Cookin' Cowgirl
