Three easy ingredients to homemade Hot Cocoa Mix. Supreme hot chocolate to warm you!

My boys love ‘hot chocolate’ but I don’t like the list of preservatives and additives in the store bought kind. I came up with this recipe that they love anytime the temperature falls below 50 degrees – yeah, they’ll use any excuse to drink a big mug full. I usually mix together a double batch of this mix in the fall and store it in a handy dandy Mason Jar so it’s ready at a moments notice.
