Hot Cocoa Bar + our Hot Cocoa recipe

Thanks to the wonder of Pinterest I set up a Hot Cocoa bar in the kitchen.  And it’s been a hit!!

The kids love that they can make their own cups and so does mom!    I decided to set this up right next to our water cooler as they use the hot water function on it for their cocoa.  I also hope to add some candy canes as the season goes on and maybe make some chocolate covered spoons. 

I also wanted to share my recipe for Hot Cocoa mix with you. 

I use a large bag of powdered sugar, a container of powdered creamer, a box of dry milk mix and usually only one large Nestle container.  Our local store only had these smaller ones, so I used two. 

This is where it might get a lil weird for ya.  I dump everything into two garbage bags.  I put one inside the other just for good measure.  Then I dump in all the ingredients. 

Then when it’s all added, I shake it.

Shake it. Shake it real good.

After your dance party, it’s time to add it to your container. I find it easiest to trim off one corner and add it slowly to your container.  This makes the least amount of mess. 

This is where I set up the Hot Cocoa bar and so far McKinley is enjoying getting her own cocoa. 

Warm and Yummy!!
