Hot Cocoa Sticks

This is seriously the best hot cocoa sticks ever. I make these every Christmas time and give out as gifts to family and friends. Usually, I like to give these with my Christmas candy I make and my homemade fudge. Yearly, we sell these for $1.00 per 2 sticks at the church bake sell and they sell out fast! You can fit 2 sticks in each bag or leave the sticks off and just put the cocoa squares in there. 4/$1.00 is a good price for the bake sale too (without the sticks). You Will Need: 18 Oz. Milk Chocolate Chips 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream, warmed 1 1/2 Cup Hot Cocoa Mix Molds Toppings ( Mini Marshmallows , Peppermint) You have got to try these out! 

Better Than Wendy's Frosty

Growing up I have had my fair share of Wendy's Frosty's and lets' all be completely honest here, you know you all did too! It was something that was cold, cheap, and satisfied a craving for a short time period. Daniel and his mother, Gloria, are completely obsessed with these Frosty's. I figured it was time to try to make these myself because I do not like the idea of not knowing what is in the Frosty's from Wendy's (they sure as hell are not gonna disclose that information). I recall back when I was 18 years old working at Wendy's having to refill the Frosty machine. I thought it was chocolate milk, that froze into a frosty like shake; but boy I was wrong! Groooosssss!! Kristopher and Kailee have had a frosty once or twice their whole life's. When I brought up the idea of making these homemade, Kailee asked me "is it like the dog's frosty's?" Honestly, I could not help but laugh so hard I almost peed myself! That girl cracks me up!! Onward with the recipe!
You Will Need: 
4 Cups Alden Ice Cream (Vanilla Bean)
2/3 Cup  Milk 
10 tsp Hot Chocolate Powder (Silly Cow Farm Brand- Whole Foods Sells It)
      - The flavor powder I got is Udderly Milk Chocolate
All you need to do is throw all the ingredients into the blender, and blend (using pulse or just blend) until smooth; you may need to turn off the blender and stir; I have a crappy blender still (no Blendtec or Vitamix for me still -_-) so I had to do this. Once it starts to blend, it is beautiful and creamy!
Absolutely amazing! Hands down the best!
Tops Wendy's by far!!!
