DIY Recycled Handmade Gift Materials:

This recipe makes 3 to 3 1/2 cups, so make sure you make enough mix or just have the right size jar to fill up!

Dairy-free Hot Cocoa Mix Recipe

  • 1 cup dark cocoa powder
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)

The best way to combine the cocoa powder, brown sugar and powdered sugar is to put them in the food processor for a bit. Brown sugar sometimes has chunks, and with the processor mixing everything up, you’ll get a fine powder in the end that is much more presentable as a gift. Pour your powder into a jar, and top with the chocolate chips to gift. To prepare the cocoa to drink, combine 1 cup of Silk Almondmilk or Coconutmilk and 3 level tablespoons cocoa mix. Heat over stove, stirring occasionally until warm.
