3 Ingredient Hot Cocoa Mix Recipe
Happy National Cocoa Day ! Hot Cocoa is my official comfort drink of choice during the holiday season! There's just something about drinking a nice hot cup of hot cocoa and watching Christmas movies, that really puts me in the holiday mood. While I grew up on the store-bought hot chocolate mix with the little freeze dried marshmallows, but being the DIY enthusiast that I am, I decided to make my own, by using 3 simple ingredients. This recipe is so easy you'll probably never by the store-bought mix again.
