It’s such an easy hot cocoa recipe it’s hard to believe all the delicious, coziness it will bring all season long.
Delicious Ways to Use Hot Cocoa Mix
To use your pumpkin spice cocoa mix, measure 2-3 tablespoons into a cup and add 8 ounces steaming milk.
Because the cocoa mix is made with both creamer and dry milk, you can definitely add hot water instead of milk and you’ll still get that nice, rich, and creamy pumpkin drink.
For gift giving, add hot cocoa mix to cellophane bags, secure with a twist tie or ribbon. Add mix to a new mug and you’re ready to give. There are some super cute mugs on Amazon.
I found this adorable jar at Hobby Lobby and now it sits on the counter with my new favorite pumpkin mug waiting to be enjoyed.
