Who doesn't love a good mug of hot cocoa? You can make a simple hot chocolate with our Dutch Cocoa Powder or spice it up with our sugars! Make it minty with Peppermint Vanilla Bean Sugar, or add rich caramel flavor with best-selling Salted Caramel Spice. Swap Dutch Cocoa with Mexican Cocoa for a cinnamon-spiked twist.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. cocoa powder of choice: Dutch Cocoa Powder

Mexican Cocoa

1 to 2 Tbsp. sugar of choice, to taste:

Cinnamon Sugar

Peppermint Vanilla Bean Sugar

Salted Caramel Spice

Vanilla Bean Sugar

1 cup milk, heated (but not boiled)

Dutched Cocoa Powder

Directions

Step 1 Make cocoa paste

Step 2 Mix cocoa and sugar together in a drinking mug. Pour in about 2 Tbsp. of the hot milk and mix together to form a paste. (Doing this helps to dissolve the cocoa and results in a non-clumpy drink.)

Step 3 Finish cocoa

Step 4 Slowly pour in the rest of the milk and mix thoroughly. If needed, add more sugar to taste. Recipe can be multiplied and made in a saucepan to serve more.
