hot cocoa mix done two ways!
You can grab a box of the pre~made stuff off the super market shelf, but why? With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time you can have a cup of delicious hot cocoa in no time at all. This mix will take you through a long winter! Since Michigan winters can be brutal I usually make this in large batches “dark, milk & white chocolate” and send them to all the grand kids! I’ve been making this for years and I will add different toppings in the box. When you live so far from family, you have to keep the grand kids spoiled from a far!
