Hot cocoa is my winter indulgence. Nightly, if possible. And always made with milk, not water. This cinnamon dark chocolate cocoa mix is rich and delicious. Perfect for a romantic winter rendezvous, don’t ya think?
Combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl and incorporate evenly. In a small saucepan, heat 3 cups of whole milk. Fill two 12-ounce mugs half full with the cocoa mixture and pour in the hot milk. Stir to combine and sprinkle with ground cinnamon on top. Better yet, add in a handful of miniature marshmallows. Sip slowly and breathe deeply. The perfect nightcap before bed.
Store any remaining cinnamon dark chocolate cocoa mixture in an airtight container.
