Valentine’s Day is ONE week away! Isabella and I are wrapping up our homemade Valentines to send to some of our favorite people and I thought it called for a special treat! There’s nothing more festive than a sweet pink hot chocolate topped with all our favs! The best part about this drink is that there’s no sugar or artificial colors! We hope you enjoy!
