Cocoa Slurpees…

I have been making these sweet treats for over two years now and my stepdaughters love them.  I recently made some for my visiting niece and it was a big hit for her also.  So, I just thought I would share this cool drink for the rest of the summer heat that is still to come.  Just take one or two packages of powdered hot cocoa mix, fill the blender 2/3 full of ice cubes, add 1/2 cup water or milk (really doesn’t matter) and add the cocoa mix and blend till it gets to the consistency that you like.  Add more water or ice as needed.  Top with whipping creme if desired.  Oh yea, I recently found out that Dairy Queen is now selling Icy Hot Chocolate – guess what it tastes like!  Yes, almost exactly!  You could make these really low cal too with low calorie hot cocoa mix and nix the whip creme.  They really are yummy – give it a try.
