Holiday season is the best time to warm up to a sweet cup of hot cocoa. But, having the same old, plain chocolate drink every year start to taste ordinary. So, I came up with this homemade hot chocolate kit for everyone. This is one of my family’s favorite; this could be your family’s favorite holiday drink, too.
Use this gourmet kit to brew up artisan hot cocoa in a matter of minutes! Subtle notes of Mezcal, Chipotle, and hazelnut make for an incredibly decadent marriage of sweet and spicy flavors. Makes a great gift for friends, family, or that special someone. Or get it for yourself and treat yourself to the quintessential holiday treat.
- 1 1/2 cups of cocoa
- 1 1/2 cups of sugar
- 3 cups of powdered milk
- 1/4 tsp of cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups of marshmallows
- Measuring cups
- Glass jar with lid
You want to measure out all of your ingredients and place them into separate bowls. That way you can have all of your ingredients in front of you while you fill your jar.
One by one, take your ingredients and pour them into the jar. Make sure your powders go on the bottom so they don’t fall in between the cracks of the marshmallows and chocolate chips.
Close the lid on your glass jar. You can choose to decorate it any way you wish. Whether that’s just ribbon, tissue paper, or whatever you would like. Next, take your label and write out your ingredients and the directions of how to use it. Once you have that done, tie it around your jar and you are done!
Recipe yields 6 cups of Hot Cocoa. To make, add 1 cup hot water and 5 cups hot milk to the mixture. You can make it in a stovetop, microwave-safe bowl, or in a crockpot.
