Hot cocoa is not only what's warm during the colder months, it's also trendy. I think hot cocoa should be enjoyed with marshmallows, of course. I love the personalized marshmallows from Williams-sonoma.com. Make a steaming hot cup of cocoa using traditional methods if you'd like but make sure to add a personal touch with your marshmallows.
