I caught a glimpse of a version of this on Pinterest and I fell in love with the idea. Upon viewing the recipe, it lacked a little depth in flavor. So I created my own. With a pinch of sea salt, cream, butter, and vanilla, these are are decadent. Not to mention that these Hot Cocoa Pops are adorable.
