It's cold! 

Time to wrap your hands around a warm cup of hot cocoa.  ☕ 

This mix is crazy quick to throw together and will cost you much less than buying the boxed stuff at the grocery store.  

Ingredients Needed

• Powdered sugar
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Cornstarch
• Ground cinnamon

Can I Double This Recipe?

Of course!  The recipe below will make you about  12 cups of hot cocoa.  You can double it or cut it in half to suit your need.

Can I Use This With Hot Water?

Technically, yes.  However, I believe that it tastes much better when you are using hot milk.

Will it Work with Non Dairy/Plant Based Milk?

Yes. Simply heat it up as you would regular dairy milk. Use the same amount as called for in recipe.

How Long Will the Dry Mix Last?

As long as you keep it in a airtight, covered container or jar, it will stay good for several months.
