Or Hot Nilla, as my kids call it! This is a warm, creamy beverage similar to hot cocoa with a twist! It has always been a favorite with my family! Hot Nilla can be dressed up for any celebration, as you can see, with a gold luster dusted marshmallow, cut to resemble a spring nest/ with malted eggs and whipped cream! We used this for my grand-daughter’s Frozen birthday party, using a Crockpot to heat a larger batch (and we seriously needed triple the amount, as it was gone almost immediately) because most came back for seconds. Her party was held at a shelter in a State Park on a cool, overcast day, so this was the perfect warm-up for our guests!

The beauty of this beverage is it can be decorated to fit any event! Add Lt. Blue, whipped cream, blue sprinkles and sugar snowflake on top for a FROZEN party, add green and a four leaf clover for St. Patrick's day, garnish with whipped cream, cinnamon stick and gold flake or candy cane and red / green sprinkles for Christmas. Yummy and versatile are two things that pair well together!
