This 4 ingredient hot cocoa mix is the perfect thing to keep you warm in the colder months. It is rich , creamy and is excellent for gift giving. If you are searching for inexpensive teacher gifts or hostess gifts for the holiday season look no further , this is it. This mix can be doubled or tripled and is a fraction of the cost of the premixed hot cocoa. We are hot cocoa fanatics at my house and several years ago when my three boys were younger I discovered making my own mix was so much more cost effective. What is even more fun is adding flavored creamers to give your cocoa a little something extra. While I keep this recipe very basic keep in mind adding flavored creamers like Hazelnut, French vanilla , or even vanilla caramel is so much fun.
Useful equipment to make this mix:
