Frozen Hot Chocolate

It's freezing outside. Like. Seriously. Cold. We measured snow this morning at 18 inches. What?!?! 2-3 inches?? Cool. Let's go build a snowman!! 18??? No. Go away, Elsa. Leave us alone.
*sigh* As much as I am sooo done with winter, it has its perks. Today I decided to try a little twist on my favorite beverage and I thought I'd share it with you. (Since I'm so nice and all ;) )

Is that not the cutest mug ever?!?! 😆😆

Anyways here's the recipe:

1. Make a cup of your favorite hot chocolate.

2. Chill in the freezer til it's cool. (Mine took about 40 minutes)

3. Go outside and scoop up a bunch of clean snow.

4. Fill your mug with snow and then add your hot chocolate. 

5. Mix in more snow til you have a nice almost ice creamy consistency. 

6. Enjoy!

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

"And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."

"He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
