Snickerdoodle Hot Chocolate

It has been really warm hear in Austin, so our Hot Chocolate consumption is way down.  The temperature is supposed to dip down this weekend, so it is the perfect time to post one more hot cocoa recipe.  This was my husbands favorite new flavor of 2016, Snickerdoodle Hot Chocolate!
