With the implementation of CMCO in certain areas in Malaysia, we are advised to stay at home most of the time. During times like this, I would suggest you spend most of your time with the kids by coming up with a new recipe at home.
For my kids and I, we love to spend our evenings by baking some desserts and chocolate drinks, especially when we are craving for something sweet. Imagine you are curling up under the blanket together and watching your favourite Netflix series with hands wrapped around a warm mug of hot chocolate. Oh, the sweet, warm, and heavenly feeling!
Uh-oh, wait. Chocolate? For my kids?! Errr… I am not so sure about that.
Parents, let me remind you of one thing. You may not be in favour of the sweetness of chocolate, candies, and anything sweet for your kids, do know that good chocolate is actually good!
A high-quality cocoa powder actually contains a lot of vitamins and minerals that are good for our health. You may find out more information about the health benefits of chocolate by reading this article on ‘The Sweet Side of Chocolate’.
While you are at it, I would like to share 5 recipes on how you can amp up your chocolate drink as well as to satisfy your sweet cravings. Perfect for those with a sweet tooth like my family!
