"Sleigh bells ring, are you listening. In the lane, snow is glistening. A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland."

Ahh..winter. We had our first snowfall this past weekend here in NJ and though it was only 3" it was still enough to turn everything white.

Since it was the day after our daughters' Sweet 16 party, our oldest daughter and her friend couldn't drive back to college with the bad weather.

So we spent the day relaxing and playing cards until the snow stopped and they were able to go out into the snow to sled down the front yard.

Yes, even at 16, 21 and 23 sleigh riding never gets old until they got cold enough to come inside for some hot chocolate.

That brings me to this recipe for Butterscotch Eggnog Hot Chocolate. Hot chocolate has always been a little on the sweet side for me so when I have it, it's because I may be craving some type of dessert.

When I was looking in the cabinets, I found butterscotch morsels. This is odd because I don't really bake with them often, but I think my husband or daughter bought them by mistake, It certainly brought back memories of my grandfather.

He LOVED butterscotch pudding at night for a snack. My grandmother used to make it for him all the time. 

So when I found the butterscotch morsels and had some eggnog, I decided to make an afternoon "snack" for my husband and I.

My kids were  a little disappointed when I put the picture up on my personal Snapchat story only to come home and find that it was all gone. Unfortunately for them, I only made two mugs full. They can't have everything! ~Enjoy!
