Cafe Mocha at Home

I'm not a big Starbucks fan (I'm cheap), but I do like an occasional hot beverage with some special flavor. This morning as I poured the last of the coffee from the pot into my cup I had a light bulb moment as I noticed the can of chocolate sitting on the counter...why not make my own Cafe Mocha!

Here's what I did:
Fill cup 1/3 full with coffee. Add 2 teaspoons Trader Joe's Sipping Chocolate powder and stir to combine well. Add about 1/2 teaspoon sugar or to taste (I don't need things too sweet) and stir again. Add milk to fill the cup and microwave for 1 minute on high. Stir again and top with whipped cream (hubby always has cans of whipped cream in the fridge). Enjoy!


You may need to adjust the chocolate and sugar amounts depending on the size of coffee cup you use.

Now I'm off to attempt some scrapbook pages....the day could go horribly wrong but at least it started well!

blessings,
nancy

    What an awesome way to start your day Nancy. I don't drink coffee but do love my Hot Chocolate. Treat myself once a week to a bought one! Otherwise it's Peppermint tea for me. Enjoy your scrapping!

    Your Cafe Mocha sounds and looks delicous! I don't do Starbuck either, instead the money goes to the stamps and craft supplies!! :)

    I love Starbucks, but I do make my own at home with a similar recipe. Thanks for sharing yours!

    Oh, Nancy! That sounds wonderful! I stopped drinking coffee in October, and really haven't missed it, but this sounds delicious! :) Hope your day turned out wonderful!
