Tasty Treat Tuesday: Homemade Hot Chocolate

November 29, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Anyone else in the mood for some good old-fashioned hot chocolate?  It has been cold here for a couple days now and I want nothing more than to snuggle under a blanket with a warm cup of cocoa.  This is a recipe my husband and I have been using for years.

Here is what you need to make this creamy hot chocolate:

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • 3 1/2 cups milk
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • flavored coffee creamer to taste

Here is how to make it:

  • Combine the water, cocoa, sugar and pinch of salt in a saucepan.  Bring this mixture to a slow boil, stirring constantly.
  • Simmer and stir for about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in 3 1/2 cups of milk and heat until very hot, but do not boil!
  •  Remove from heat and add vanilla.
  • Divide between 4 mugs and add flavored creamer as desired. (We love pumpkin spice and mint.)
  • As an extra special treat, you can top it off with whipped cream or marshmallows.

Kroger Quadruple Fuel Rewards Points for Gift card Purchases + $25 Kroger Gift Card Giveaway

November 29, 2011 by 61 Comments

Kroger has an AWESOME promotion going on right now where they are offering Quadruple Fuel Rewards points for gift card purchases!  For every $25 you spend on gift cards from the kiosks inside Kroger stores, you will earn 100 fuel points, which will give you a $.10 per gallon discount the next time you fuel up at a participating Kroger or Shell gas station!

You can learn more about the Kroger Fuel Rewards program here–>Kroger Fuel Rewards

During the holiday season, I typically give gift cards as gifts to my kids teachers, and I love that I can choose from a variety of gift cards and get my grocery shopping done at the same time!  Earning quadruple fuel rewards points is an added bonus!  There has been an increase in credit card theft at restaurants, so we have also started picking up restaurant gift cards to use when we eat out!  You can buy gift cards to use for your holiday shopping, too so that you can take advantage of the Quadruple Fuel Rewards Points promotion!  Choose from retailers such as Macy’s, JCPenney, Sears, Starbucks, iTunes, Lowes, Gap and Old Navy, Chili’s and Best Buy, among many others.

To help promote this promotion, Kroger provided me with one $25 Kroger gift card and is providing me with another $25 Kroger gift card to give away to one lucky reader!  I used my $25 Kroger gift card to buy a $25 Amazon gift card to use for all the great deals they’ve been having recently!  This giveaway begins today, 11/29 and ends on Saturday, 12/3 at 11:59 p.m.  A winner will be chosen using random.org and notified by e-mail on Sunday, 12/4.  The winner will have 24 hours to respond and if the winner does not respond, a new winner will be chosen.  Click on the “More” button below and fill out the form to enter to win.

PLEASE NOTE:  I did receive a gift card from Kroger to promote the Quadruple Fuel Rewards program and the gift card to give away is also being provided by Kroger.  The opinions shared in this post are my own opinions and were not influenced by Kroger in any way.  Please refer to my disclosure policy for additional information.
