Happy Cocoa Day!

Health benefits of hot chocolate or cocoa include antioxidants that help prevent heart disease and stroke. And it gives you such a lift on a cold day!

There are plenty of ways to make a cup of cocoa special. Try these at breakfast with your family, set up a cocoa fixings bar at work or your holiday party, or just make a special cup for you or someone you love.

Try adding…

• Coffee
• Whipped cream
• A drizzle of Hershey’s chocolate syrup or caramel syrup on the whipped cream
• Some red or green sugar on top of the whipped cream
• Some sprinkles on top of the whipped cream
• Marshmallows — which now come in a variety of flavors
• A sprinkle of cinnamon
• A pinch of chili powder
• A twist of orange peel
• A splash of egg nog
• Any flavored creamer, such as hazelnut or pumpkin spice
• A Stroop waffle
• A candy cane stirrer (I like Spangler’s or Bob’s candy canes best)
• A little Kahlua, Amaretto, Grand Marnier or Bailey’s Irish cream

Which way is your favorite?
