Cozy Cocoa + Coloring Weather
It’s officially cozy cocoa + coloring weather here in Los Angeles. It doesn’t actually snow here or anything, but it does get below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, which I think we can all agree is freezing. Right? And perfect for snuggling up with a warm cup of vegan hot cocoa, and a coloring book. So, I’m going to share my favorite vegan hot chocolate recipe in honor of the season.
<Insert twenty paragraphs about why I love hot chocolate, and how the inspiration comes from a cup of cioccolata calda I had that one time, and childhood, etc. before I finally give you the dang recipe… just kidding!>
Best vegan hot chocolate ever.
