Snowy day treat

Today was the first day of snow in the new year, and the first snow that’s stuck all winter. So the kids took that as a hot cocoa day after they spent some time outside playing. 

Normally I would go to my favorite quick powdered cocoa mix, but I remembered we had received some fun wooden spoons covered in chocolate and mini marshmallows as a gift for Christmas. So we decided to try them out today. 

They were the Target brand ones.  While they were lots of fun to stir in the cup with hot water and create the mix, the flavor just wasn’t there. The kids let it cool a little after stirring. Once they took a few sips they started to voice how it just tasted like water. 😔

So I ended up having to add in the powdered stuff, which made it taste much better. 

So my overall opinion of the cute cocoa spoons is:👎

The fun and cuteness was there, but where it counted in flavor they were lacking.
