How To Make Hot Cocoa Mix at Home

To make your own hot cocoa mix in a jar, grab a mixing bowl and a whisk, and let's get started! Here's what you'll need:

• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Coconut sugar or any granulated sweetener
• Salt

Whisk the ingredients together.

Transfer the mixture to an airtight container.

If gifting hot chocolate mix, you may add some treats to the jars, like marshmallows and mini chocolate chips!

Serve about 2 tablespoons of the cocoa mix to 1 cup of warm plant-based milk or water. I like using almond milk!

Next up, I'll be making dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan homemade hot chocolate bombs! Be sure to check back for those. These extra-large silicone molds are great for that. Another unique homemade gift idea!
