Notes
A couple of tips for this recipe:
- You can use hot milk or hot water to make this cocoa. Milk gives you a much creamier hot chocolate and is definitely my preference.
- Use 2 heaped tablespoons of mix for every cup of hot liquid.
- You can use your favorite plain chocolate bar in place of chocolate chips – just grate the chocolate finely. You could also just add mini chocolate chips!
- You can add spices to your hot cocoa mix – pumpkin spice is a great addition!
- You can add your favorite creamer to give it another punch of flavor.
