I know calling anything the best is pretty subjective, but guys, I don’t think anyone would argue with me on this one.
My kids beg for this hot chocolate all fall and winter long, so I always have a big jar of this mix on hand.
I make hot chocolate by the pitcher for my family, and I’ve even been known to add some to my coffee. Mocha latte, anyone? SO yummy!!
How do you drink your hot cocoa?
Plain and simple?
Loaded with marshmallows?
Piled high with whipped cream and sprinkles?
I almost always drink mine half hot chocolate, half coffee.
The baby (ok, fine, he’s a toddler now) drinks his half hot cocoa, half plain milk.
The other 4 kids seem to always be trying to out do each other with the amount of marshmallows or whipped cream they add.
And all of December they think a candy cane stirrer is mandatory.
So tell me, what does your mug of hot cocoa look like?
No matter how you dress it up, this mix is simply the best. You can even make it with dark cocoa powder, if that’s your preference.
Enjoy!

I use light because that’s what I keep on hand. Either one would work though!
