Discover 18 Midwest Winter Adventures

Come winter, it's easy to hibernate with a book by the fire. But locking yourself away just robs you of the season's stark beauty and serious fun. All it takes to get out there is an idea, a willingness and a couple of layers. We've taken care of the ideas. The rest, you can handle.

Enjoy the ultimate hot chocolate

Larry Robertson and his wife, Lisa Tallarico, are obsessed with chocolate. They own the Cocoa Cottage Bed and Breakfast (cocoacottage.com) in Whitehall, Michigan (55 miles northwest of Grand Rapids), where they make Mama Tallarico's Hot Fudge. They collect chocolate memorabilia and even use husks from cocoa beans as garden mulch. So it's not surprising that Larry wouldn't rest without perfecting a hot chocolate recipe, even if, by his estimate, he gained 15 pounds during months of developing this brew.
