Nothing says “Happy Holidays” quite like a mug of creamy hot cocoa. While boxed mix is convenient, it can be loaded with preservatives and additives. This mix is easy, delicious, and can be made in large quantities to give away as gifts in decorated mason jars!
Use this base mix, then take a look at our notes for fun things to add before enjoying or gifting.
Base Cocoa Mix
2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweet dark cocoa powder
1 cup vanilla non-dairy coffee creamer powder

If storing in mason jars:
