Nothing says winter fun like being snuggled up by the fire with a cozy blanket and a mug of hot cocoa. Did you know you can add a drop of Peppermint essential oil for some additional awesomeness?
We can also make gifts, or To Go Cocoas for friends using the following recipe which serves 5:
Ingredients:
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup turbinado sugar
⅛ tsp salt
⅔ cup dark cocoa powder
½ cup whole milk powder
Peppermint essential oil
If making 5 gifts, you will also need:
5 gift bags
5 spoons
5 mugs (check options at the dollar store!)
5 two ml sample vials
Place the dark chocolate, sugar, salt, cocoa powder, and milk powder in a food processor. Chop/mix for about 10 seconds until all mixed together. Place about ½ cup of the mix into each of the 5 gift bags and attach a spoon with a twist tie to close. Place the bag and the spoon in the mug. Add about 10 drops of Peppermint to each of the sample vials and place in the mug as well. Include the following instructions if desired!
To use: Mix 4 tablespoons of gourmet cocoa powder with 8 oz of very hot water and 1 drop of Peppermint essential oil.
