This dairy free hot chocolate recipe is a fun and easy one to whip up with your dairy allergic kiddo. Made the old fashioned way in a pot on the stove it’s sure to warm your home and tummies.

Made with chocolate chips as well as cocoa this hot cocoa is as rich as it is creamy. A great pick-me-up on the go in a thermo flask, or around the campfire. It’s a winner in our books and an added bonus is non-allergy kids can’t even tell the difference!
