With the air turning chilly and cups of hot cocoa in the ready, this non-chocolate hot cocoa is not only tasty, it is fun and a great substitute for the non-chocolate lover in your family who may feel left out during hot cocoa time.
Whether you want to call it Pink Hot Cocoa or Strawberry Hot Cocoa, this 4 -ingredient mix takes less than 5 minutes to mix up. It would be a cute gift in a pretty jar or those Hot Cocoa Cone bags topped with mini marshmallows and tied with a cute bow. It makes about 6 cups of mix, so you'll have plenty to store some in a larger airtight container for yourself as well as several affordable gifts.

DeleteI make a coffee drink that is easy to make, I remember it by 3 - 2 - 1. 3 cups of powdered milk, 2 cups of sugarfree powdered chocolate mix, 1 cup instant coffee and 1 cup of Splenda or Splenda blend. I shake it in a ziplock bag then store it in a mason jar. Mix 3 tablespoons of the drink mix with a cup of hot water, then enjoy. It's easy to take on the road, and sugarfree!
ReplyDeleteSakura, thanks for sharing the recipe! I don't drink coffee, so I would never have come up with that mix! You rock!

this looks really terrific!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda!
DeleteWait.... is there such a thing as a non-chocolate lover? Do they even exist? ;)
ReplyDeleteI know! Who doesn't love chocolate? I have one "strange" child who doesn't hate chocolate, but doesn't care for it either. I don't understand that at all! :)
DeleteWhat a great idea - but I'll just supplement my chocolate fix instead of replacing it! Pinned! Thanks for linking on Busy Monday!
