In Virginia, we have had a LOT of snow this year. In our home, for many years now, when it snows, that means lots of sledding and it also means Hot Chocolate and Snow Cream! We reserve a nice clean patch of snow with the promise of this treat in mind. We made the recipe up when our oldest boys were little. Everyone looks forward to when Dad cooks up this special treat. Give it a try!
