But they might use heavy whipping cream, more fat, fewer carbs. :)
Then again, hot cocoa tends to be sweetened with sugar. Unless they got
the diet version using an artificial sweetener, there would be all those
sugar carbs.
Wonder if the trick of using vanilla extract to sweeten the whipping cream
instead of sugar (which is a trick I use if I'm actually buying cream and
whipping it myself, as opposed to buying Redi-whip) would work on that?
